Dear Mr. Dupuis and Family,
We met at the ALS support meetings. Although we were only there together a few times the love that you and Elaine shared was apparent. My husband lost his battle this past May. It is a long hard road that they traveled and Elaine was very lucky to have you at her side.
Respectfully,
Carol Chamberlain

The ride they took was smooth, powerful
and heavy with gravity.
The picnic they packed was full of foods
meant to nurture mind, body and soul.
The clouds they named danced by as if in
a private parade.
The rest they sought came unnoticed…
as rest should.
Lying in the grass he thought,
“What matters?”
Lying beside him, she thought,
“Only the truth matters.”
