"To the Family of Nick Sayles. I was blessed to have your son as a friend. He would often visit me after I lost my beloved son in a car accident. He was always sweet, respectful and brightened my day during those dark times. I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss but wasn't able at the time to convey my regrets. I can still picture him sitting at my kitchen table with a smile and holding my baby girl (now 13). I do think of him often and felt that it was time to let you know that he touched my life and is not forgotten.
Sincerely, Mrs. Catalina Linzey"

I am committed to working on my happiness everyday because so many have died for my freedom to live my life. Thank you is not enough but it is all I have.
