Hello Greg,

Thank you so much for posting. It is just wonderful to hear from you. The plans for Katie's celebration of life sound perfect. I would so love to be there, but I will surely be with you in spirit, celebrating your amazing and beautiful daughter, and the incredible relationship you had with her.

Love,

Hi Greg,

I was thinking about you this morning and just wanted to say "hi". I hope and trust things went well yesterday. I guess it was a very bittersweet time, I hope filled with a lot of love, and a lot of support for you and Katie's mom. We miss her with you, I know not as you do, but please remember we are with you, sharing in some small part your pain, and in large part your love.

Hugs to you today,

Bev
