To Marcelle
Immigration separated all of us and I’m sorry we grew up in different lands.
I did not get to meet Andrei. Nonetheless his death has been a loss to the whole family. May God give you and Stefan strenth, patience and serenity to accept Andrei’s premature departure. I love you Marcelle.

Dearest May,
I wept when I read your message. I do feel your love across the thousands of miles.
This evening, passing by the altar where Andrei’s ashes are, was yet another experience of shock and disbelief - how can such a strong presence be reduced to just ashes! And, in some ways, I want to believe his spirit lives on. It is in messages like yours and all the other people’s who wrote something, whether on this site or in letters and cards, that I feel he lives on … at least in our hearts.
I love you,
Marcelle
