Sandy, this note is late in being posted. But, not because of lack of caring. It was so great to have reconnected with you at the MacArthur High School Reunion. This has got to be a difficult time for you and I'm so sorry for what you are going through.
Upon learning of his being a gardener tells me that he and I should have gotten together and compared notes. An email hug is insufficient, but all that can be offered right now.
With love
