    Dear Rachael, Raven & Becca, I was so sorry to hear about your Dad. I know you girls were the light of his life and that he loved you and your brothers all very much. He was especially proud of what awesome young ladies you are all growing up to be. I lost my dad when I was about RachaeI’s age so I know there is nothing I can do or say to make you feel any better but I will be keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. Be sure ask if there is anything you need or anything I can do to help. Aunt Tammi knows how to reach me. Take care~ Love, Terri
