Dear Basil, I never had the pleasure of meeting your Mother, but I have known you for more than 1/2 of our lives. In all of those years I have never seen or heard anything that would make her anything but proud of you. I know that you understand that this separation is temporary, so my prayer is that you may you be comforted by your faith and rejoice in your memories. May the teachings of your faith and example of your Mom propel and protect you until the day of that great and glorious reunion.
