39. William769, you are a favorite of mine: you were, you are, you will be for all time.

Fri May 2, 2025, 06:45 AM

May 2

I don't know quite how to react except, of course, denial--to hope you are wrong. --And to that end, I will send you my hopes, healing wishes, and yes, prayers.

May you be with us for a long time to come, but equally important, may you be feeling yourself, free of pain, and at peace.

All my hopes and healing wishes surround you.
