So far, no good.

The letter was sent 5/31/15... While in a ballsy mood, on my trip from Jacksonville to Charlotte.  It went unread. 
I friend requested her on 6/2/15, and sent the letter again the same day.  My thinking was maybe there was a block on non-friends sending messages.
I waited.  And, waited.  Everyone else waited too, just to see if I would hear anything.  Nothing, still unread. 
Sassy and I did some continued searching of profiles, and found her BFF... Sue.
After much thought and discussion, reaching out to the BFF as a new path of communication was decided and agreed upon.  Based upon location and bravery, Sassy agreed and volunteered to reach out to her.  Found her number and made the call on 6/10/15.  I'm only privy to the one side of the conversation I was told about, but though it started a bit hostile ended with an understanding on the BFF's side.  She was going to "call her BFF, and tell her she was a grandma."  
And, here we are.  My friend request was denied the following morning, and I've heard nothing more.  I sent the letter one more time on 6/11/15 to make sure that if there had been any changes, it was available to her. 
I've now done my part.  Ball is in their court, though I believe their court might not be anything I ever want my children on.
