"Tressa and Paul i am so sorry to hear of your loss. I know you were to young to remember me but I am your mamas cousin. Theresa was my closest friend. I was heart broken to hear that you'd lost another parent I am so sorry. I havent seen or heard from your mamas family since the trial and I have always wondered how you two are. I knew that you would be going to live with your aunt who I got to meet but after that I have heard nothing. I hope that you are all well and happy and know that I am thinking of you during this sad time. Pamela Romaine PdRomaine@msn.com Monroe Iowa"
