Thank you, Dianna. I know you are no stranger to loss and grief and fully understand. It is the privilege of getting older, I guess – and it makes us appreciate our time with those we care about all the more. Yes! Let’s chat soon when the holiday craziness calms down a bit!

I am so sorry for your loss. Yet in reading this I felt grateful for the friendship you shared and the memories you made together. Wish I were there to give you a big hug and turn some tears to giggles while you recount more tales of you and Janet.

Holding you and her in my heart prayers.

Let’s get on the phone in the New Year. Love, Dianna
