Dear Jeanne + everyone,

You each have all our
sympathies at your great loss. Ryan was a very
very Special Young Man. All anyone had to do
was to look at him, they'd be able to see how

GrandMa (who went home [date redacted]-89) - GrandPa

loved one's he had - who went before him.

Also included are poems that I thought
would give you comfort. I thought each

heart murmur + back then - they couldn't
do anything about it.).

It helped my Parents
go through that period - so I'm shareing
it with others who are in need. One was
a couple who lost their 2nd baby to an
inheirited disease, a girl at 7 ½ mon's, a boy at
