Dinah and family, times like this cause me to reflect on the only thing we are able to count on, which is the love between people. I hope you are able to feel that love from me and the others here.

I know of many good and thoughtful things you have done and I am certain that I know only a fraction of the total. May you find peace and comfort in this part of your journey.
