Gaye, My longtime friend Ed brought me to your home some years ago when your children were very young. They were so sweet, and you were so kind to entertain us that afternoon.Throughout your husband's illness, Ed has kept me up to date.

You have been, and continue to be, in my thoughts and prayers. I wish that you could provide a picture of the children that Ed could send to me. I know that they must be a huge comfort to you at this time.

Sincerely, Lorna
