I think of Henry often and still miss him. His emails to me were a private, but joyful part of my life for several years.
I came across a photo of the three O'Neal boys recently among my mother's things and just posted it on Facebook telling the world how lucky I was to have these wonderful guys in my life.
I hope you are well.
Love,
Judith
