Palmer: We don't know you but we love you because we love your mom and dad. Our families grew up together for a few years before your family moved to Seattle. But we have visited them everywhere they've gone (they tried to shake us but we wouldn't let them escape). Our daughter, Robin, was a bridesmaid in your mom's wedding. And I vividly remember seeing your dad for the first time. We were at a hotel in Springfield, standing on the second or third level that overlooked the whole bottom floor when he walked into the lobby. Both Larry and I said, "He looks just like Prentice!" Not so much anymore, I'm sure, but we have not forgotten our first impression.

We still visit your grandparents frequently and have seen many pictures of you and your family. Our prayer is that when you are well we will be able to meet with you and your family and renew our bond with your mom. You have a wonderful family, but I know you know that, and we know that God is guiding their every step. Give our love to them.
Dee & Larry
