Willie and Sandra (and family): I have been meaning to touch base with you to see how you are doing. I also want to thank you for allowing me the honor of writing the poem for Sandra's program. I was thinking a week or so ago about my association with Sandra at Holy Ghost years ago. She was just lovely! Further, I had the opportunity of seeing her in action in the classroom--phenomenal teacher!! When her mother passed away years back, I stopped in her classroom and gave her a little crucifix or some small token. I had forgotten all about it. She told me the last time I saw her, "I still have the (cross) you gave me pinned on my bulletin board." I thought that was so sweet! I will continue to lift you and your family in prayer during this difficult time. May God bless you with His healing power!!

Family: May Gods' word sustain you through this time of grief and continue to do so on a daily basis. Cling to his words for comfort, while Praying for that Peace that passes all unserstanding. Claim his promises and lay all of your hurt on the shoulders of our Father. There is nothing our God cannot do, including healing the hurt and pain your heart is going through. He is a comforter.
