Hey kelly,im from holytown glasgow,in scotland,and i found this letter in an old train wreck outside my place,its on pink flower borded paper,adress to your gran,written on december 18th 2007.We found this and thought to search,the names also mentioned were dad and angela,and it mentioned a book,but we only found one of the pages from the book,and on the right hand side is bordered with green diamonds and white stars in red boxes,with snowflakes,we found your profile,since it mentioned cancer in the letter and thought it might be you,it also mentioned a 30 year gap to your gran.Just wondering my e-mails commented on this,so drop us an email and i can take pics of the paper and send them to you.

Many thanks -Karli (P.S we also found a photo album in a blue case with loads of photos in it,wondering if its yours also?It has a boy with a school emblum on his shirt and another photo of him with friends at a sort of male brigade pictured?)
