Thanks, Linda and Everyonee, I don’t want to forget anyone. There is so much strength in prayer. I had an idea, I’m not really a singer. But I wonder how the family and friends would react if I started singing the Lord’s Prayer? Well, I suppose why not? Hmm. Maybe they can join in if some of them would like to sing along.

Subject: Re: [CnD] old braille cookbooks A lot of those books that were in my office were on thermoform so they held up pretty well. The binders and book covers got old and and started to break. Those books were treasures, but they were not mine to keep, otherwise I would have. Laura, I'm so sorry for your loss. This is so tragic, and you are in my thoughts Please take care of yourself and I'm so glad that you have those memories of good times together.
