This is an envelope that arrived to us a few weeks back and it is a series of several Karri-Hour letters that were written by a very special group of young children that had been told about Karri and about Karri Hour. Their teacher is a wonderful person who brought these over to us and who has been doing good deeds her whole life as a service to others.
The letters have been paraphrased but were a wonderful gift for us complete with the fantastic colouring artwork on each letter!
Dear Mr and Mrs Oksanen and Lexi,
I am so sorry for your loss. Our teacher told us all about what happened and we are sad. This is how I have served my Karri Hour this week: I helped my mom cleaning the house and am helping out on the weekend too. We are praying for Karri and your family.
