Dear Sara Lynn,

You are to me brave and beautiful.

You said several years ago you would take yourself to a better place and
life.  You did.  You never gave up on yourself, never let go that your heart
and soul knew you were worthy.

Growth and healing are gained day by day.

Thank you for helping me to see my way.

Steve M.
