This AM, Kira wore the “golden” belt you gave her, her earings and the matching pin. She also had grandma Agnus’ hanky hanging out of her pocket. She looked and felt like a million dollars. (The hanky did not make it to school – to precious!)

I have at my house a “treasure” box full of odd trinkets, jewlery, and other wierd things – it is by far the most favorite thing to review at my house. Recently Kira had two friends over and we had to look a the treasure box – they were very impressed at the “wealth” of it all

The beauty of presentation and perception –

Kira is six now and thank you for helping her day be extra fab

Love, Heidi

When we’d be running around upstairs and playing with Heidi, we’d periodically run into your bedroom and I know that those treasures you gave Kira must have come from your dresser! You had wonderful treasures in your house and I have wonderful memories of the endless hours we spent there! Much Love! Becky

I’m so glad you were able to celebrate Easter with Charles – at home. Isn’t technology wonderful! I just heard the “Piece Heroique” last week and now with this reference, may dig it out again. I never thought about playing it for Easter! Maybe next year!

The wonderful boxes you assembled for Kira are certainly a precious gift from you to her! What a special grandmother you are!

God be with you as you prepare to “do battle with” the disease this week. May His strength be with you!
Our prayers continue!

Love, Irene and Ivan

I’m glad that you had a pleasant Easter. That time together must have been a wonderful blessing. I would have liked to have heard Charles play “Piece Heroique.” (I spent a lot of weeks working on that one in college; never played it after that, I don’t think.) I’ll bet it was magnificent with the combination of Charles and the First Plymouth organ. It’s a great piece.

I thought a lot about you during our sunrise service yesterday, partly stimulated by Jeff’s playing of Charles’s composition, “I Know that My Redeemer Lives.” Your good news of improved blood counts, perhaps, can be a sign of resurrection hope, when we celebrate the victory of life in all its forms over death in all its forms.

Our prayers and hopes continued with you two always.

Peace in resurrection hope

Jerry
