[Magdalen] Anyone Here?

[Marilyn Cepeda]

Judy, I am so sorry to hear about Bill’s fall. It is amazing how much it
can shake one up!  Hope he improves soon!  So sad about your friend.

I remember a time when I kind of hated calling home as all I heard was how
many funerals my folks had been to that week. I am now reaching that age.

We have a part time priest who does far more than her hours. She is younger
and energetic!  Nice to see.....

I think of you and Bill and your visit to Diamondhead. Such fun!

Hope things improve......
Marilyn
