I was saddened to hear of Nancy’s passing. I found out the news when I was in Platteville last week-end. Margot
Steve, Its a very difficult time now I am sure and it will take time to recover but one does recover and one can again be grounded and content. Jim died nearly 3 years ago and I am now finding so much joy in life and I still think of him each day. Margot
Steve, I was so shocked that you could of knocked me over with a feather. I was very sad to get this news. We were all good friends and spent a lot of time together.
