Dear Mrs. Flanagan

Hi, my name is Jonathan Duerr and I am a 17 year old at Polytech High School in Woodside Delaware. I enjoy writing and singing songs in my spare time and was deeply affected by your tragedy on April 16 of this year. I wrote and sang the song that I have sent you in remembrance of that terrible day and I would be very much honored if you would listen to it. The name of the song is "Time of the Season". I send you my sincere thanks and greatest sympathies,

Respectfully,
Jonathan A. Duerr
Kimberly Lane (Mom)
