Chris, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your husband. Even though I did not know him, I know he was a good person if you were married to him. I know we haven's kept in touch since you moved off and left us at Barton Elementary, but I have thought of you, with fond memories, often. I am praying for peace and comfort for you and your family.

Your friend,

Rita
