Dear Narice,

I have been thinking of you and your family a lot lately.

I pray and trust that God will give you the strength to bear this

loss. While it sounds awfully trite, I know in time, you will emerge

from all this, and be even stronger. (However, I am the first to

admit that all of us would have given a lot to have remained weak,

and not have had to go through all this !)

In any case, please know that I admire the way you continue to give

strength to everyone else on this board, while you are dealing with

your own grief. You have such a way with words; they stay with me

for a long time and I reflect on them.

Stay well, and god bless.
