Gee, Dearest J&C, you really done GOOD!!!  I know you’re not too proud or anything…… 

Ddl, You are Impressive!  You did all this and will continue to, all on your own drive, energy and ambition. VERY impressive.  We have an ‘Armed Services”  board at work and I have added your picture. We all pray for all of “you”. We pray for your safety and we are grateful for your service.  Thank you for your letter.  What can I send you that you can keep??   Congratulations on your ‘graduation’. I am sorry I cannot be there to share in your happiness, so I am sending Grammy and PaPa to cover the hugs and love. 

You are thought of everyday and you are soooo loved by soooo many.  Enjoy your family time and Grammy is bringing a hug from me, be sure to take it.  Yesirree, very proud, very proud…..  Love you,   Cat
