I am sorry that I am not able to be there in person, but my thoughts are with you all. It is hard when there are so many miles between us. It is so tough to watch a generation that taught us so much slip away from us. Oh, but what wonderful, happy memories! It is my hope that we will touch others, love others, teach others, and leave our mark on the world like they have done before us.
Love, Alida (Bermingham)LeVier
