Betty,
I finally got a picture of the beautiful quilt that you made for our family. Jeff’s special girl, Charity and I are sharing the moment. It was a very emotional day when we wrapped ourselves in that quilt of honor and shared our thoughts about Jeff. You have honored Jeff by remembering his sacrifice and that means so much to our family. It is so helpful for us to know that others care and are giving us support as we try to go on with our life. We are taking it one day at a time in facing our futures without Jeff’s shining smile to bring us joy. I appreciate your prayers and support especially as we struggle through this holiday season. Your gift was a blessing and it will continue to help us as we move forward into the new year.
Take care and God Bless You!
