Dear Dorothy,
St. Peter said that there is a time for all of us "to fold up our tents". That thougt does not always make it easier for those left behind. I am sorry to hear of George's passing. I know you and he shared many positive experiences with one another and your family over the years. All are in my prayers. Your old teaching pal, Barbara Munjas
