Dear Harriet,
Frances called me to tell me about Bob’s death. I am so sorry. I’m really sorry I never got to meet him, but I am so glad he came into your life. You and your loved ones are in my thoughts and prayers. Give Ginger a special hug for me, and tell her I remember when she was 4 years old! We go back a long way, Harriet, and your beautiful afghan, which you made for us for our wedding present, still keeps us warm after 26 years! You also rescued me after I’d moved to Columbia and TRIED to set up my office. You came all the way from Atlanta to help me get settled. I wish I could see you right now and hug you close. Frances promises y’all will stop when you go to Myrtle Beach later in the year. Love and prayers,
Lucie
