Dear Gartenberg family.

My daughter is an upperclassman and didn't know your daughter but we heard about your daughter's passing and were sooooo sad. I cannot fathom the pain you must be in. I think about you all constantly. I hope and pray that your memories with her will help you through this immediate difficult time and for the years to come. I truly believe she is with you always. May her presence give you warmth and peace when you need it most.

Sincerely,

September 7, 2013
