I bow to you all and take my departure. Here I give back the keys of my door--and I give up all claims to my house. I only ask for last kind words from you. We were neighbors for long, but I received more than I could give. Now the day has dawned and the lamp that lit my dark corner is out. A summons has come and I am ready for my journey. Tagore
My deepest condolence. Our thoughts are with you. Warmest Regards, Jessica
Stephanie, Bill, and Michael were my neighbors for many years and I worked with Stephanie on the SPEF board for several years after that. She was a dynamo and I have a hard time accepting that even cancer could be the winner in that battle. My thoughts and condolences go to Bill and Mike. Rest in Peace, Steph. dave
