One time the class had left a mess in the kitchen from a banquet the night before. I tried to get up early to clean it up before Angelene arrived but she beat me to it. I felt terrible and apologized. I remember Angelene saying in her Texan-German accent, "That's ok, Madge. There's always more water and we just wash it all away." It was an incredibly kind and wise and comforting thing to say and I think about it often.
Thank you for letting us know, Doc. Love, Madge On Wed, Oct 24, 2018 at 10:23 PM James Ayres <jay...@cvctx.com> wrote: > Angelene died today.
