[Viva] Romari in Vancouver General Hospital AGAIN

[Levi Bonner]

I’ve been thinking about Romari a lot. I’m out of the country unfortunately
and won’t be back in Vancouver for a bunch of weeks. Thank you Peggy for
caring for her and please send her my love. I did mail her a letter at some
point a while ago and I think that’s a good way for people to communicate
with her as the nurses can read them to her.
