Dear John, I'm saddened to hear of your very tragic loss. I understand, because I too lost my wife and best friend of 15 years on 1/4/01 while vacationing in Texas. She was only 39 (I'm 36). Like you, we shared the miricle of having children (3 girls, ages 11, 10 and 2, and a boy, age 5). And I spend every waking second being strong for them, and letting then know how much their mommy loved them and that she still lives on in their hearts. Along with my faith in God, those children give me my strength to get up each day and be the best possible person that I can be. John, try and do the same. Your beautiful infant child was miraculously spared (what a blessing!) and she deserves to have a father that will be strong, and provide her a lifetime of love and guidence. Your obvious love for your wife will later in life provide your daughter a sound basis for understanding what a wonderful mother she had. In closing, John please know that you are not alone in your grief. If you need to talk, write me and I will respond. Take care and God bless. Your friend, Warren
