Please tell dear KoKo and her family that they will not be forgotten. Thank you to you Lisa, again and again, for bringing the Congolese into our lives. And thank you to your Congolese friends who are keeping you safe and helping you bring their lives to us. With love, Sid Dearest Lisa,

I have been laying here awake for over 2 hours now. I can not stop thinking about Antoinette, Koko and this baby. I think of you too, as you continue to keep their stories alive. I think how fortunate I am, once again, as Bella called out for me earlier because of a sore throat. How blessed I am that I walked just a few feet over to comfort her...how blessed she is that she could fall back to sleep in the safety and warmth of her own bed. I lay here in tears. Please know how much I, and many others, think about you. You are loved. With deep gratitude, Tracy Dear Lisa,

Please tell Koko and her family that we love her and that our thoughts and prayers are with her. Please be careful. Much love, Robin Dearest Lisa,
