To my cousins Bradley,Elizabeth and Sarah: My thoughts are with you in your time of suffering. I am sorry that I am unable to get away and come to Ohio while you are there. Take comfort in family. I am making a contribution in Aunt Dorothy's name to the American Cancer Society. Someday, and I pray soon, they WILL find a cure.
