Oh, Elaine, I just found out about Johnny, and am so very sad for you.
You both were very smart, kind, and talented. Since Taos High when I knew you, you were two people who belonged together for a lifetime. I’m glad you had that together, and that you have a wonderful family to sustain you now in your sadness and loss.
Love,
Sandy
