To the Puma Family. My sincere condolences to you in the loss of your beautiful daughter. My daughter is a student at School 2, and is just 6 years old. She worked very hard for the fundraiser at the school recently, and needed me to explain what had happened to Alyssa. I am saddened beyond belief, and as a parent, my heart goes out to you all. God bless you.
