I am sorry I was unable to participate in the activities this year, as my
sister passed away from cancer and I had spent much of my time with her in
Cedar Rapids, Iowa which is about 250 miles from me. I did, however,
forward Archbishop Tutu's prayer to my minister and she published it in our
weekly newspaper.
Thanks for coordinating this. Hopefully next year I will be in a better
position to spend some time on this.
