Jane Driessen--Really Not A Kook
Dear Sange Family, My heart just broke when I saw your sweet Mara's little sweetie-pie photo in the paper. What a doll-baby you have lost. I never write notes like this to people I don't know, but I am captivated by her picture. Her eyes and smile show what a darling, fun-loving, joyful girl she was and I cannot begin to imagine your sadness. I know there must be hundreds of other people out there, strangers like me, who saw her picture and could not take their eyes off of her face, so able to feel the grief you are feeling today. I hope all our thoughts and wishes and heart-felt, cosmic embrace will help ease your pain even a tiny bit. Your little angel will be watching over you from wherever she is now. And, she will always be in the purrs of Fluffy, the tweets of Twinkle and the little woofs you hear from Elle. There is one more star in our sky now, and its name is Mara Lee.
