I am Lotus' sister. She fowarded every e-mail recieved. Thank you for the kind words and the thoughtfulness that comes before them. It means so very much to read letter after letter from all of you wonderful people. It makes me really proud to be somehow related to all of you. Maybe some day we will meet. If your words are this comforting, a hug is anticipated. Sincerely and with love, Viola Darlene Cirilo Hayes
