Note from Gloria

Dear Koren,

I am so sorry to learn of your father’s passing. He was such a fun person. I enjoyed our Friday night Bridge games years ago.

I am holding you in my heart and sending you healing energy as you go through this time of grief. Take good care of yourself.

The e-mail I sent you bounced back. I have your old work address.

Love,
Gloria Kemper-O’Neil
