Dearest McDowell Family,
I'm not sure if you will remember me, but I lived next door to you on Lafayette Blvd. Some of my favorite memories of there and growing up are of playing with Calvin on the swings, him trying to teach me to ride his bike and our daily sessions in the corner during the second grade. I will always cherish growing up with Calvin and with you all. You will all be in my prayers and thoughts always and especially during this time.
