Happily, Henny is thriving on the supervised healthcare she has been receiving. And tremendously grateful to all of you who have sent cards and gone out of your way to visit her.

She is leaving Cairnsmore this coming Thursday to live with her daughter Karen in Vancouver until they find a reasonable care home for her close by. I'll keep you posted with Henny's new phone number and address, coming soon to you via e-spokes.

Thank you again for contributing so positively to Henny's challenging transition.
