June 2, 2023
After 20 years the hurt is gone, only good memories remain. You would be proud of your children. Jennie is like you (that’s good) and like me (maybe not so good, but she’s fiercely protective of those without a voice, the marginalized, ignored, discriminated against). Geoff has remarried a beautiful woman from Uganda where they reside; they will be here on Monday. Cindy has moved into a delightful Matheny group home and she is happier than we have seen her since you left us. Jenn and I visited her last week. Sarah and Matt also have new group homes and they are content and well cared for. Jenn does the heavy lifting now and wrestles with the bureaucracy and the professional coordination (which is more challenging than the bureaucracy). Mike is still in Staunton. You are missed every day, especially by your grandchildren and the great-grandchildren you’ve not met. We will all see you in the bye-and-bye.
