Thank you for all of your well wishes and prayers. Your thoughtfulness and understanding has been overwhelming and will forever be remembered.
I would like to be able to speak with you regarding your child’s progress since I was unable to meet with you at our scheduled times. I plan to make phone calls toward the end of this next week. If you prefer to meet in person, please contact me so that we can arrange a time.
May God continue to bless you and your family with His love and peace.
