To the Editor:

On December 22nd, our family experienced a tragic loss when my husband passed away. The outpouring of love and support that we have received since that time has been almost inconceivable. The kindness of the community, the giving of neighbors and the seemingly endless support of friends has sustained us through this most difficult period. Whether you brought us a meal, fixed our dryer, helped with tutoring, cleaned our house, vented our boiler room, helped with our pets (Roxy, Mimi and Milo), bought groceries, babysat, contributed gift cards or made cash donations, or gave us hugs and lent a sympathetic ear, we cannot thank you enough. Perhaps the greatest gift of all is that my children have been able to see the depth of human kindness during this horribly sad time in their lives. For that, there are no words of appreciation great enough. To each of you who has helped us and prayed for us, please know we are humbled and very grateful, and we will always be. Thank you so much.Love,

Elaine, Caitlin, Megan and Annie Cunningham
