How well I remember the Housman family, your incredible generosity towards our school and library, and especially the love you, Katherine and Dave, have for your daughters. The friendships forged at ISS run deep, and I was absolutely shocked to hear about Dave's sudden passing. My heart weeps for you, knowing that you will each live well and carry on the family that you began with Dave, but knowing that you'd do anything to have him with you for all that is yet to come. You are in my heart and I send you, Katherine, Reeves, and Anja, my warmest hug, my brightest smile, and my deepest wish for your comfort and eventual healing. Thinking of you and sending much love, now and always.
