I think that he and I have never met. I am happy for you. The blog and the news it bears about your mother has touched our heart. So many have passed. It was on December 31, 1987 that your great-aunt Gertrude, my grandmother ascended, then mother four months later on the 18th of April, 1998; a few years later father passed as well. Over the years I had the bounty and opportunity to visit uncle's Bob and Jack before their passing and received several visits from Julie, may the Blessings of God be upon her. Tony and Angela too, came to see us; however, we have lost touch with them as with most others. In a brief letter we conversed with Gary, but that was nearly six years ago, or so... We pray that all others of the family bode well. Our prayers are with you. Good-bye and much love, Kamal Beloved Cousin Allah u abha,

I'm delighted to be receiving your blog. I have one disagreement with your letter to an angel. I think your mom fit the description of an angel even before she left the physical plane. Those months when she and Eileen left us still seem surreal to me. Whose son is Cole? Whom did Gavin marry? That is awesome news about Ethan. Love you. Hi, Wendi.

I see this also a Wake Up Call
One which opens up a Door too Long Closed
The Entrance to The Debating Hall

More Power to Your Pen Sweet Wendy
