"I just want to tell you that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I lost my mother 14 years ago and besides your children, it is the biggest loss you will ever live through. You will never get over it, you feel like an orphan. Just try to remember the good times. It will ease the pain a little. Sheila is one of my best friends and if she loves you I do too. Love, Amanda Steele"
