[Sister Alvear]

I was not able to help with the fund drive for Cindy...During that time everything you could think about went wrong...One of our son's got laid off his job...we had to help them, a death in Brazil that required our help, we had to re-register our work in Brazil because of new laws and that took a huge sum of money...and right when I thought things were ok and would send something late our van was stolen and we did not have insurance...Plus several other things...it all poured...at one time. I hope everyone forgives me because I thought the world of Cindy but I could not help on the funds. I did pray for her family and for each one that could give during that time.
I ask your forgivenss however I am sure Cindy understands....
