Dear Mary and Theresa, I knew your Daddy best when we were both in 4th grade together and were neighbors. He lived in a small, white one-story house beyond my back yard in Tennessee. I had just moved to town and he was one of the first friends I met. He was always friendly like that, even at a young age.

What a year this has been so far. We, as a nation, started off the year with recent memories from the Sandy Hook school shooting in December, then the Boston Marathon Bombings and West Texas factory tragedies soon followed.
