Dear Judge Backenstoe,



Since you presided at our adoption hearing, the day we all huddled outside in the rain, we have come to think of you as a vital part of our family. We will be thinking of you at this difficult time and praying that your many years of happy memories will see you through. Please accept our sincere sympathy.
