 > Dear nieces and nephews,
 > 
 > I just realized that although I shared your email addresses with Cory,
 > Kathleen and Pat, I had not used those addresses to write to you. Please
 > accept my apologies.
 > 
 > I know how difficult it can be to lose a father or a mother. It's not easy.
 > But as you probably have already realized, that parent is not really gone.
 > Your father will be with you for the rest of your lives as mine is with me.
 > Your relationship will remain. The thoughts that have always been there
 > will remain. You will have conversations with him. You may be like me and
 > offer apologies. I regret, for instance, not paying enough attention to the
 > very elegant and diverse garden he created at 11o Richards Place. But
 > every  time I am out in my own garden, one not nearly as interesting as
 > his, I think of him. I apologize for not paying more attention. I thank him
 > for stimulating the interest in gardening that I have. Our relationship
 > continues.
 > 
 > I know that Robert and Flora are able to head out to  to see your
 > mother and I look forward to her return to the East Coast. It will be nice
 > to give her a hug in person. I'm sure you all look forward to that as well.
 > 
 > All the best to all of you and, once again, please accept my condolences.
