Hi Elizabeth:
There were several copies of a cryptic message that we couldn't
figure out. Then my personal e-mail had this one on it. I get the
feeling that Larry Macy was getting similar messages but didn't
understand what was going on either. Glad you clarified, and this
is my way of forwarding it to the troops. It doesn't look like any
of your complete memos was addressed to Spridgets, which I didn't
notice before. Hope this is the way you want it.

It seems that my email account has been doing some funny
things, but I think I've got it sorted now. First I forgot to edit
my message, but then I did and it still removed the text. In case
you missed it, this was what I was trying to send.:-
Hello Everyone,
We went to the memorial service on Wednesday, and met up
with Mike Graziano there. The room put aside for the service was not
large enough top accommodate everyone, so many people wanted to pay
their respects.
Aaron paid his own tribute to his mother. It is clear that
he is deeply disturbed by the events. He was very grown-up. He spoke
through his tears, and was not afraid to show his emotions. In years
to come he will be proud that he was able to do this. I was very
proud of him, and told him so when he approached me later to give me
a hug, thank me for attending, and to present me with a rose from
some of the flowers. The rose was for all of you, I'm sure.
I did speak with Robert, and told him of our intentions. He
was deeply touched. Both the children will be spending the summer
with them in El Paso. Michele is inconsolable, but is trying to
remember the happy times. She retells stories of Melanie's life, and
I don't think she can really accept it yet, neither can her sister,
who also lives in El Paso with her husband.
One of the things that Robert said was that he had learned
that he would not postpone doing things if he could avoid it, and i
think one of the things they plan to do this summer, whilst they have
the children, is to visit Orlando. That was one of the things they
had meant to do, and now they will. The generosity of the list will
make it that much easier to do, if that is what you all want.
Perhaps this is a lesson for us all. We need to tell those
we love how much we love them, and not just in words but in deeds
also. I'm not trying to preach to you, just putting into words my
own determinations.
Elizabeth
If this (above) didn't show up on the list, would you please post it
for me. thank you.
I believe that the bottom line is that the funds will probably be
presented without strings to Bob and Michelle. They will know how to
best benefit the kids, and I for one feel that they can make a better
decision than any of us. I don't know that there has been a decision
in that regard or that it has even been discussed very much.
Whatever they do is okay with me. BTW, Bob has been bringing his
grandson to some car events. Is it this grandson, or another one?
