I remember the day we got Clayton. His father called my mother and told her to pick him up. He was petrified of sirens and screamed every time they went off. i had to bring him inside and cover his ears. He slept with me and I slept on my stomach with my arm across his chest and he hung on to it. He trusted me. He over came the sirens going off because I was there for him. I'm so happy he married you and had a wonderful life.

I have known Mary Jeanne for many years when we were neighbors as young children. We had not seen each other for many years until we reconnected in a groups support setting. She had a marvelous sense of humor and once again we reminisced about the old days. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. She still had not gotten over Hank's death and we talked about him every time we spoke. My condolences to her entire family.
