Heather,I am so sorry about your grandfather. I was glad to be able to see you and Ian Saturday night. Knew I could not make it to the funeral,but wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. You and Ian are an important part of our school family and I know that it is hard at any time to say good-bye to a loved one,but especially at this time of year. I still miss my grandparents and they died many years ago. I know you will miss him. Take care,Gloria Hendley.
