Dear Mr. and Mrs. Urbin,

I do hope and pray that you won't feel like I am imposing upon your privacy. After reading the article about your beloved Haley, I have felt so compelled to send you a note or card letting you know how very sorry I am. She sounds like such a gifted and wonderful young woman; so mature for her age. I believe that God sends us some very special souls - people that change our lives forever. His ways are not always revealed, however He does give us peace that surpasses all understanding.

It is my prayer that you, your family and friends will be able to grieve, but with strength and courage to face each day.

I lost a sister to cancer, we were 15 months apart. She passed away on Christmas morning - 36 years ago. She was 13. Everyone who met her was inspired by her spirit of strength, intelligence and humor.

I hope that this letter has not offended you in any way. Even though we don't know each other, a part of me feels like grieving with you. May God Bless you and your family.

Sincerely,
Janice Falleti

(I will continue to remember you in my prayers.)
