Mrs. Brooks,
Donald had made mom’s life a little happier since he joined the program at the Villa. She will miss him there. Dad and I were talking about old times on the weekend. One of the saddest days of my life is when your family moved to Dundas. You guys are like family to us and I know that Donald will be missed but know he looks down on us and is keeping an eye out on us.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you in this time of need.
Love always, Mary Dawn
Jennifer,
