Mrs. Norman, We will zoom, FaceTime, whatever. We so appreciate you being willing to do that. She misses you! I look forward to hearing from you about your ideas to proceed. Thank you so much!!
Ms. Kozma, Karson absolutely loved the letter. He read it then wrote you back. After he wrote the letter he started crying.

It means a lot!
