Dear Kathy,

You mentioned in your email that Julia is a joy. Thank you. I completely agree.

However, I wanted you to know how much joy you have brought to her and to us. I’ve seen her come alive since the Saturday sessions began, with confidence and ideas and spirit. She builds her weekly plans around what she will do at Kathy’s.

Not a day goes by without your reference-“How many more days ’til Kathy?” “Will I still get to go to Kathy’s?” “At Kathy’s I do this … ” or “That’s like Kathy’s.”

Anyway, you and your place are a constant part of her life in so many wonderful ways.

Jean Margaret
