   Dear Austin,

   All I could do after reading your letter to us on this blog was cry! People that come to this blog are just beginning to learn about RFFA, about Reagan and about me — and through your letter, they are realizing that we, as a family, not only lost son Jerry to AIDS, but we also lost son John to hit and run by a drunk driver. John died in 1984, and Jerry died in 1994. My husband Austin and I look back on our life and wonder sometimes how we got through the loss of two children. Well, one of the ways that we did was through our strong love for each other, AND the comfort and support of the other five children in our blended family. Austin, we are so proud of you and the fine grown man you’ve become — a wonderful husband to Donna and a wonderful father to your children. You are the one in our family who never forgets anyone’s birthday or anniversary — so thoughtful and it makes us all feel special. Thank you for all that you do for our family.

   Much love to you,
   Marion
