Dear Dan and Judy,



I belatedly read about Leah's death in the Time Sentinel. I can't begin to imagine the pain that you both must be feeling. I didn't know Leah, but I know her Dad and that he is a good man. I pray that God will comfort you both and protect Leah in His loving arms through eternity.



Sincerely,

Malcolm
