Paul, Julie and family, we send you and your mom love and prayers. Quinn told us about what a radiant Light your mom was and what a privilege it was to spend time together in January. Quinn said being with your mom was "magical."
Such Grace for that visit to have happened then....memories and love that will last forever.

To my big sister: We had such a great conversation a few weels ago-covering everything from our kids to the political scene. When we hung up, Katherine, I thought about how much fun it was to talk with you. I love your mind and spirit and am proud to have you as my sister. I am saddened that we will not have more of those talks...at least not in person. Love, Jeanette
