When Amy Daughters reconnected with her old pal Dana on Facebook, she had no idea how it would change her life.

When Parker died, Amy—not knowing what else to do—continued to write Dana. Eventually, Dana wrote back, and the two became pen pals, sharing things through the mail that they had never shared before.
