Here are excerpts of notes written by convicted wife killer Stephen Grant to Jennifer Kukla, who was convicted of killing her two young daughters. The letters were written from summer to fall while the two were in the Macomb County Jail. Grant, who is awaiting sentencing, is believed to have slipped the notes to Kukla beneath lunch trays.

• "I figure that you might like someone you can just 'talk' to. Because of the publicity surrounding both of our cases, it's not like either of us is going to give our letters to the news media. ... At least I hope not. (Smiley face.)"

• "I apologize for assuming that you know about me ... everyone does. (LOL) So much so that (the deputies) call me 'celebrity.' I am here in jail charged with murdering my wife. Ask the other ladies if they know 'Steve Grant.' They probably do. (Indifferent face.)"

• "I figured that, because of the news coverage of my case, you would know all about me. ... I'm 37, brown curly hair, 6 ft. ... by the way, I don't normally have 'those' eyes, they just used the same picture over and over on TV. (Smiley face.)"

• "The reason it's safe for me ... is the notoriety of my case. I have been told that I am the Sheriff's re-election priority. Also, every time that I am in court, the TV cameras are ALL there and if I have a black eye it will be on CNN. (Smiley face.)"

• "I'm glad you're not too mad. (Smiley face.) It has been nice writing/talking to you these past couple months. I still laugh when I remember your one note ... You asked 'are you scared of me?' (LOL) You are too nice to be scared of. I just wish we could arrange a rendezvous in the closet one of these days. (Smiley face)."

• "I hope you know that you will be OK no matter what happens. I'm pretty sure you're stronger than you think you are."

• "Before this current situation, I loved being outside ... running, mountain biking, etc. ... spending time with my kids also was very important. I really miss them."
