I think of you often and continue to admire your faith, stamina and writing skills. My prayers are with you as you struggle through these last days before the final victory. You are an inspiration to all. May God continue to bless and keep you.
With love,

Please know that our thoughts continue to be with all of you.

Southern CA is finally getting a little summer w/ 90+ several days, but always cool nights. Susan’s garden has been very bountiful, despite (or maybe partially because) the somewhat cooler weather, with lots of 75 degree highs.

You got an especially big dose of positive thoughts today as I again attended the Christian Science Church in Laguna Beach. As I said before, Connie, you (and your many commentors) have contributed so much to our spiritual growth over these past years. That has meant a great deal to us, and has affected us both positively in ways we would never have dreamed of.

Take care, dear friend, and know that we continue to send comforting thoughts to you and your family. (Alphie also certainly does his part, as well. We are probably 2-3 years from our next dog — the many new dogs in our retirement community have, however, got us thinking!!)

Warmest Best,

dick and susan gale

Remember, from the podium, he would point to the individual who would sing the solo–with no advanced warning.

I always remember your beautiful voice when you were chosen to sing: it was so solid and uplifting and inspirational to me: your sound of conviction always gave me strength. I have often relived this in my mind.

You are still singing the solo today in your writings. I am so fortunate to have you to guide my strength and faith today. Your conviction still carries through in your writings…

I wish i could do the same for you now in your tribulations.

Warren Gould

I’m checking your blog often as we travel, as I will after get back to Nairobi on Friday. Our prayers continue to be with you and your family. Congratulations on your 50th anniversary. God be with you each step of your journey.
Love,
