[Dialogue] With Love, Hope, Peace and Joy at the Holidays

[Carol Crow]

Dear Margaret,

My thoughts and prayers are with you in this intense time.  We also  
will light our candle on the 29th as we await further word on your  
surgery.  The strength of this community and the journey we have  
shared together are wrapped around you as a cloak, infused with love  
and a prayer for safekeeping.  You are truly blessed.

Love to you and your family,
Carol
