Dearest Anna, I was so saddened to read about George tonight. At least he is now quietly resting & in no pain. I know it's so difficult after having such a successful marriage of so many years. My heart goes out to you & I do think of you often even though I'm so far away. My best to you & your family. Charlotte Amidon Muia
