Dear Lauren Rhodes
I wish I would have told you that you were never alone. I believed you were stronger than you knew, stronger than you could ever imagine. I remember your character was raw but authentic. You always spoke truth to the attentive as well as to the intractable. As we all struggle speaking truth to ourselves and the expressing the courage to reach out, I pray we (I) will be there to listen. If words are able to cross the divide, please know that I was blessed to have met you and was an honor to have served alongside you.
Your friend,
Joseph Ingalls
