Dear David and Sarah, I knew your mom and dad well. I used to babysit you. When we moved to Colorado Springs, we lost touch with your family. I share your grief for your mom and your dad as I have lost my mom and dad also. I will always have fond memories of your family. Sincerely, Kathy Hobbs Tradel
