A Christmas Message from the Ramsey Family
With the Christmas season upon us and the anniversary
of JonBenet’s death approaching, we are filled with
many emotions. We, as a family, miss JonBenet's
presence among us as we see the lights, hear the music,
and recall celebrations of Christmases past. We miss
her every day not just today.
On the one hand, we feel like Christmas should be
canceled. Where is there joy? Our Christmas is
forever tainted with the tragedy of her death. And yet
the message rings clear. Had there been no birth of
Christ, there would be no hope of eternal life, and,
hence, no hope of ever being with our loved ones again.
As the day of the birth of our Lord and Savior
approaches, we thank all across the nation and around
the world for your continued prayers of concern and
support. It is those prayers that sustain us. We ask
that as you gather with your families and loved ones
this Christmas, be joyful in the celebration of the
birth of Christ, knowing that this is truly the reason, for the season. We must continue to celebrate the
birth of Christ . . . for our hope of life together
ever after.
Thank you for all you meant to her and mean to as.
With blessing and prayer for a Joyful Holiday
Grace of God's ever present love for the New Year,
John, Patsy, John Andrew, Melinda and Burke
It is signed by 5 persons so who actually wrote it? If there are a couple of similar phrases in both this and the ransom note why blame Patsy.
Can anyone help me with the following sentence "Thank you for all you meant to her and mean to as"?
It is likely to be a typo should be "us" rather than "as".
