Dear Levine family,
Carol Davis called to let me know about Mrs. Striefsky's passing. She also said that a neighbor of Antoinette's at First Methodist asked for prayers for the family on Sunday - and that Antoinette was a good neighbor and friend to all she knew.
I am sorry for your loss and I know ,Lisa, that you have been caring for your mother these past weeks.
We are in Vieques , a small island off the coast of P.Rico - where the ocean is profound and I have time to think and reflect - and will remember the Levine family in my prayers. Sincerely, Eileen
