"Aina, I look back to when we by chance hooked up in Fremont while Wilbur was in Rehab. What a joy it was to sit down with the both of you to visit about the past. It made me happy during my own rough period. The two of you had a great life and it is very important to remember all those good times you had. Prayers for you and all your Family."
