Chip & Hazel,
I was so very saddened to hear the lose of my friend. I lived next to Tabitha in Newburyport and we became very close neighbors and friends during our time together. I will miss Tabitha very much, but will always cherish the laughs we had together. I am very sorry that I wasn't around for Tabitha's wake and funeral for I was out of town when all of this happened. I am also unaware of an address or phone number to reach Chip or Hazel on. If anyone has that information could you be so kind as to pass that on to me at [email protected] or (978)457-5553. Chip...we had a few laughs together ourselves when you were down playing "handyman" and I would love to catch up with you again. Please get in touch with me when you are ready. Again, I am deeply sorry for your lose and you both will be in my thoughts!

Sorry to hear about Tabitha. She was my best friend and more importantly I thought of her like my mother. Keep my brother, Cedric, safe like I know your family will. I just hope that we could talk. I would have said something earlier, but I have moved to New York in November. If there is anything that I could do please give me a call
Much love,
