[Sundaycommunity] Fwd: Reactivation Center Move pending rehab availability

[Dave Snelgrove]

Thank you very much for this.  It's now years (perhaps 13) since I was part
of the Sunday Community - moved to St. Catharines and now Montreal.  But I
remember Lee very well.She and her husband (forgive my missing his name -
it will come when I have mailed this!)  were a formidable pair, in a good
sense.  They had rich life experience, viewpoints well defended, a zest for
inserting a realistic point of fact if it was going to help a discussion,
or a community.  Fine and unusual people, forming part of a core of others
in this group of unorthodox intelligent believers.

I wish Lee and you, her family, an ongoing healing and recovery.  Such a
tough fall - so much damage.  Bravo to Lee and her supporters for moving
beyond such severe injury to wanting to move forward, in strength and
hope.  I hope she has lots of visitors and correspondence to help her
through any days that are just plain boring.  Get well soon, Lee.
 Rosemary Gray-Snelgrove.
