Nadia, I wanted to let you know how sorry I am about your granddad. I remember hearing about all the fun times you had together. I especially remember when we went to the National Day of Prayer service at the Salvation Army. You read a prayer and he was so proud of you. You were so special to him and I know he is watching over you from heaven.
Love you!
Mrs. Umunna (Juzwiak)
