Hi, sweet Valerie! I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am to hear about
Doug... A few days ago, I noticed he had forwarded a message to the Bookshare
list for you, and I thought that you two seemed so kind to each other! I am
praying much for you... Feel free to email me off list if you like. Hugs!!!

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] A sad note
Last night at about 9 PM, my beloved husband, Doug, passed away. It happened
without notice; he was not sick and I was out grocery shopping. I am bereft. I
cannot imagine my life without him, but I am grateful for 24 years of marriage
and almost two more before that. Doug was an amazing man and a great blessing
as a Bookshare work partner. Please forgive me if I do not reply as there are
many people to notify and arrangements to make.
Please keep me in your prayers as I enter this new chapter of my life, alone.
It's been over 35 years since I lived alone. Even our two sweet dogs can tell
everything is different.
Valerie
