Thank you for sharing your beloved, beautiful Annie with us all, in the September 2006 Guideposts, which came today. You and your husband will be in my prayers every day. Truly. I am glad to have the photo of you and your husband, as well as the Ann's sparkling photo on p. 87, to give faces to my prayers.

Your poems, your thoughts, the pictures you shared -- you are generous to give of yourself in this way, and I know you will help many people as you have helped me today. (After 50 years of happy marriage, my wonderful husband died suddenly and unexpectedly in February 2002. As a poet, I haven't been able to write about him yet -- but your poems will lead me to do it.)

Warmly, Marian T. Scheirman -- Fort Collins, Colorado
