Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Dear Peta: I just read your post about Amy and I am so sorry. I just don't understand how it came to this so quickly. I haven't seen all of your posts but I seem to recall she is very young and has a young daughter. This is heartbreaking. You and Amy are in my thoughts constantly. I wish you all peace.
