Joanne,
This is Cousin Val writing from Ohio to send you all my love and best wishes. I admire your so much and am in awe at your strength and courage. One of my favorite memories of a time I've gotten to spend with you and your family is of the time many summers back, that I brought my mom and dad up to visit with Aunt Jean. Darcy was only a few months old and everyone wanted to hold her. She was so patient with us all. Dad has a great picture of Mom, wearing a t-shirt with sunflowers on it, holding Darcy who is wearing a white sunhat! I was missing my Sarah, my oldest granddaughter who is about the same age as Darcy, so it was fun to enjoy time with Darcy, as well as the rest of the family.
As you probably know, Bev and I have had a couple of visits together in Florida and we also keep in touch via email, and she tells me so many wonderful stories about your family. She is so proud of all three of your kids! And she cherishes her time with all of you.
Mike, you are my hero too, for being such a loving and dedicated husband and partner for Joanne, as well as a super dad to the kids. I send you my love and positive energy. I think of you both every day.
Much love, Val
