[Viva] Stay Safe sisters!

[Lisa Lagos]

Dear Margarite:

I have been thinking about you for days!  I was going to send you a letter
and then I see this from you.  I am so sorry to hear about your husband and
friends!  How frightening.
I so appreciate you taking the time to share it with us.  Always thinking
of others, Margarite.
I am keeping you all in my prayers and am so glad to hear your husband has
improved.

Miss you!
L I s a  L a g o s  😷 🙏
