Your Grace Notes always speak to me. As I read today's column, holding back tears for your loss and the clear premature loss to the world, was not possible. Sharing your personal grief in this way Is a gift to me and others.
With deepest sympathy and appreciation for your guidance in facing life's darkest moments with courage and faith,
