Dear Jean and Family, it has been many years dince you and I have talked, we grew up together and we were neighbors, I am so, so very sorry to read that your Daughter Tina had been shot while asleep, I feel so very, very sorry to read that, I did not know, because I knew you had a daughter Tina, but did not know her married name. Hope you are doing OK, and may Tina be with the Lord and in Good Hands, her and my Sincere Sympathy to You & the Family. God Bless All, Shirley L. Readinger-Ziegler
