<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I hesitate to write you
but feel somehow I should share a few thoughts. We are all
aware that more and more of our colleagues are passing away.
Many of us are in our 70s and 80s and that is a natural thing
to have happen. Some of us are losing our spouses, most
recently Judith and Bob. This is so hard. My heart and all our
hearts go out to each person who is in the fresh depths of
loss. I see Jann's name below; she lost her beloved Fred a few
years ago. And I lost my beloved Mary 15 years ago; she was
only 60. This month would have been our 50th anniversary. The
missing never ends, because love is forever. I am attaching a
reflection on dying that may speak to some of you. There is no
remedy only continuing in love and gratitude. If we can, we
reach out to touch others with our love. And then it is our
time to become one with the Final Mystery. </p>
