A very belated note of condolences to Jimmy, Wayne and Penny in the death of your mother, Mary. Today, which would have been her birthday, I tried to reach her by Skype-to- landline from Costa Rica to wish her a Happy 96th. When I found that her phone was no longer in service I did a Google search and found out she had passed on to her future home, and ( if we understand correctly, ) reunion with your Dad and her siblings who have gone on before. I last spoke with your Mom at Christmas. I am thankful for her friendship and the years we’ve known each other. And, I still believe that this is “goodbye for now, but not forever )
