Paul passed away two years ago this month, but I have followed your brave battle. I speak of you often to my friends and family, and tell them of your courageous battle, and your uplifting writings. I believe the Vidazia will come through again now. I really feel it will. Who knows what they will discover. You are an awesome spirit, and I know Paul is applauding you. Always my prayers are with you.

Love, Marguerite Rylander, Helena, Montana

I was glad to be there and happy to think of topics of distraction – the story of Open Harvest’s 30 year old Sour Dough start being dumped by the unknowing intern and the subsequent remedy was a shoe in distraction topic for you – I had a few more up my sleeve as well. They will have to wait.

The fourth annual last Christmas was one for the books – the celebration was legendary, the music was inspiring, the family a delight, and miracles were evident.

Sleep well tonight and I will be thinking of you tomorrow.

Love Heidi

God be with you tomorrow! We will be thinking of you!

Love, Irene

Partially sober or not, it appears that your body and most of your spirit made it through the Jan 6 med stuff.

As promised, the portion of your spirit (no Connie, not spirits — SPIRIT)that we took to Balboa Island for lunch did enjoy the crispy calamari appetizer and a huge bowl of cold pasta salad. Actually, your body would have been welcome too, as these two dishes were
enough for a light lunch for three. The Italian restaurant was very pleasant and Sinatra background music added much. I began that day by saying to Susan, “We’ve got to think a lot about Connie today,” and indeed we did.

The “Fourth Annual . . .” is a good summary of how you and those closest to you have pulled together over these years, even the one who often pulls the hardest needed a new hip.

‘Tis onward to the Spring Equinox!!!

our warmest best to all of you,

dick and susan gale
