Dear friend:
I also lost my beautiful young daughter, suddenly 3 weeks ago. Pam was 24 years old and I feel like there is nothing left in this world that has any meaning. I don't know how people get over this. Maybe we could help each other through our grief. I would like to be your friend.
Sincerely, Poppy
