"Dear Frank, Stephen and Jessica. I have thought of you all so often. I lived next door with Noah. He is 7 years old now. I was so sad to hear about Pat. What a wonderful neighbor. We live in Maryland now near my daughter Allison. I lost my daughter Sharon in September 2016 after we had moved back to Hendersonville NC. I hope you are all well. God bless"
