Dear Tonya,

Thank you very much for listening to Christie, and for taking her to Mr. Smith's office. She was in great need for counseling and your attentiveness and concern and decisive action are commendable. After the tragedy of Bennie (last name illegible), we are all aware of how vulnerable we can be. One never really knows, but Ada and I are so thankful that you had the wisdom to respond. We thank you so much and admire your actions.

We think Christie is better. She certainly has our full attention and ear. Christie thinks she is better too and that is good. We know we are not out of the woods and that we need to all work on this as a family.

Thank you Tonya. You have a bright future, and Christie, Ada, and I are all so appreciative. Hope to see you soon.

Wendell
