Dear Linda, Ted, Kate and Caleb, Gene just forwarded notice of Vera's death a few days ago. I know her to be a good woman who raised loving, giving children; a woman who tended her home well and contributed to her community. She lived a very long life and I hope she felt it time to enter a new life. Vera reminds me of lines from a Wendell Berry poem, The Satisfactions of the Mad Farmer. "...the work of feeding and clothing and housing, done with more than enough knowledge and with more than enough love, by those who do not have to be told..." Please know I am thinking of U4, Jay and family, and the family Steven made. Shortly, Vera's service will begin and I feel myself there with you all at Honey Creek. Much love, Diane 505-977-5705(C) 505-369-1766 (H) 3604 Panicum Rd. NW Albuquerque, NM 87120
