Shelly,
It has been too long since I last talked to you and wish I had the opportunity to do it again. I have been working hard and trying to take care of the house. I don't see your kids much anymore. They all have their busy lives and most are married now. You also have 10 grandchildren...wow! You also would have celebrated your 58th birthday on the same day your graduating class from NEHS got together for the 40th class reunion this last summer. We are getting ready to enjoy another Halloween...one of your favorite holidays of the year. I have so many things I want to talk to you about. I also have questions about those last few years of your life as mentioned in your journal. We will be returning to Kauai next year for our parents 60th wedding anniversary. Wish you could be there. Also wish you would be around to help me survive our brother. Happy heavenly day!
Your Sister Karen
