Sherry and Bill,
We were so sorry to hear of Corla’s passing. We thought of you often while she was missing and hoped she would be found safe. Losing a child at any age is a tragedy, one you will never get over, but you will get through it with the help of your family and friends. May the memory of Corla comfort you in the days to come. Thinking of you…
