[Sw-l] HAPPY BIRTHDAY Valerie

Fri Feb 22 23:09:55 UTC 2019

Valerie, my family and I are sending you all our love. I feel so fortunate
to have had the chance to spend time with your father; what a beautiful,
thoughtful, talented, interesting person who made such important
contributions to the world in so many ways, including the support of
SignWriting.
