Letter to the Editor

Soldier, family appreciate gift

To the editor:

My brother, SM Sgt. John Weimer, is stationed in Iraq. He sent me an e-mail that said, "Someone from Cape sent me a phone card with no return address, just a message, 'Love and Prayers from Someone Who Cares.'"

He would like to say "Thank You," and so would the rest of the family.

The phone card is greatly appreciated, because John is away and likes to call home to check on his 1-month-old son, whom he has not met, and will not see until January when he is due to come home.

Thank you, whoever you are, from our whole family.

CHERYL THIELE, Cape Girardeau
