Dearest Shauna and Russ, My tears and prayers have not stopped since I heard about your tragedy earlier in the week. I've tried to think of some good that could come out of this. I'm happy for the joy Jesse brought you and that you brought to him. It comes as no surprise that you two were excellent parents and that you two created this beautiful boy. I really enjoyed the photo of Jesse. It is the first I have seen of him. I loved the little twinkle in his eye. I could see he was full of personality like everyone in your families. His skin was so soft and fresh, I could almost smell him. I have been smiling ever since hearing of his birth each time I thought of you two. I lost so much more than just Pete in the divorce. Though not in reality, in some ways I feel I lost a grandchild with Jesse's passing. Our whole family is praying for you. Last night I put Carlos and WenJay to sleep and they first fervantly prayed for you two and the baby - so sweet as Carlos is seven and WenJay almost four. Carlos keeps telling us (and he is a guy of few words) that the baby is just fine. I know he is, it's his parents' healing that we are focussing on. I hope you feel all of the love and prayers that are coming your way from so many people who love you. Love, Alice
