I know we haven't been in touch for several years, but we think of you often and wonder how you are doing. Cindy Scifres told us about Brett, and we are very sorry. We know how we would feel in your place, and wish we could find words to ease your pain, but I don't think there are any right now. Just know that our thoughts, prayers, and love are with you.
