Today Liz turned {redacted by the NSA} but we did not celebrate it as we usually would. "Happy" just doesn't fit; the absence of Kat(ie) feels all the heavier. We made a quick overnight run to San Jose to be with family Thursday night and marvel at how Kayla and Aidan are developing before our eyes. They helped with the filling of the KBBs (below).
Today Liz spent time finishing off the Katie Birthday Boxes which are being mailed to her friends. We are also inviting anyone who will to light a candle with us on her 27th birthday, June 23, at 9 a.m. Arizona time and praying / remembering / honoring Katie. (Some of the "sassy candles" from her memorial service are available in the church office.) We will be in the U.K. then, and candles will be lit in Switzerland, the U.K., New England, and across the U.S. wherever the word spreads. Liz designed and she, Kelly and I created beautiful hand-made cards to go with the boxes.
On to Pentecost and Leave-taking Day, taking all of this with us.

Happy tidings Liz on your (transmission garbled) Birthday. When you arrive in France, if you have time, consider the Catacombs. They are near the Denfert/Rochereau Metro stop. Also, if you have an evening free, Notre Dame de Paris (with subtitles) is available. I put information links for you at www.Jessit.com I look forward to following your journey. Stay safe. Robert
