Dear Mike, Caroline, Madelyn, Martha, and all,
Sympathies for the loss of your mom and grandma.
I think I've told you, Mike, that Molly and I were break buddies when we
worked nights for the Post Office at the Remote Encoding Center. I enjoyed
her company, her grounding energy, and her sense of humor.
Blessings and healing thoughts for you all.
Sincerely,
Kristi and Dan Porter
