Sarah,
For some cosmic reason I
thought of you and googled your name. Yes, I remembered
your married name-Which
reinforces the strangeness of
this text. So, I am obviously
thinking of you, as I always
do on June 14th. I would like to send a personal note if you
can send me a text with your
email. Wishing
you strength and peace.
