For Zachary James Pratt

Hi Zach, last week Aunt Shari held a church service for Uncle Bernie. Lots of people were there including all our family and people said some wonderful things. It is just so sad and shocking that he is not here anymore.

I attached it here so you could read what I wrote. I hope you have a chance to read it and keep Aunt Shari and Emily in your thoughts as they are really struggling right now and need all our love and support. Sorry this note wasn't more upbeat but wanted you to know this.  I will write something more positive later in the month.

Their grandmother took Jessica to Egypt, but can't make another trip like that now so she is paying for Courtney to go to Ireland. They will stop o...
