Dear Ms. Lowery,
God bless you for staying on top of Allie’s little escapes in NY/NJ! We are her aunt and uncle and are so grateful to you for not forgetting about Allie. We are eager to see her once she returns, but in the aftermath, are saddened to know that there are many kids still lost/abducted/unaccounted for. This may be what you do every day, but it was the first time in our family’s existence that we’ve had to go through such a nightmare. Her uncle Hollis (Rev. Hollis Cotton) is an ordained elder and politician. I am an ordained elder and a psychologist. We deal with this level of “other people’s pain” on a daily basis. But then, it hit home!!! All of our training went out of the window as we struggled to maintain faith, be there for the family and hope against hope. This time, prayers were answered. However, I am taking a vow to keep my FB filled with missing children in our area. It was FB and social media that got our Alexandra back, I’m praying we can help others. Good people like YOU make that happen!
Again, our sincerest thanks,
Dr. Carlita Baldwin and Rev. Hollis Cotton
