Several months have passed since Charlie's death, and I would like to thank all those who have sent kind wishes and been a support not only to me but to all who cared about him.

We can celebrate the reality that after so many unhappy years, the last part of his life was joyful. Though I miss him every moment, I am so profoundly grateful for the time I had with this exceptional man. It was amazing that he thought himself lucky to be with me, as I was with him.

Charlie would have appreciated the many acts of kindness in the months since his death.

My e-mail address for anyone who wishes to be in contact is jo.dufay@sympatico.ca

With love to all who cared about Charlie,

Jo
