Dearest Terry, Kristy, and Scott...my heart sank so deep when I heard the news yesterday. I hope you feel the arms around you of so many people who are lifting you up to The Lord. To me, Devin will always be that second grade little boy who got grossed out and said "HOW EMBARRASING!" when Jeff gave me a little kiss after proposing to me in front of my students. We have it on our engagement video tape and will treasure it always.....Sincerely,, THE O'CONNORS - Jeff, Rhonda (Miss Payne) and our six year old daughter, Kaitlyn Kay, who has been praying for all of you, too!!,
