Email and a Love
Poem
Heather, with the aid of Noel's didgeridoo, talked about the many people who loved Noel whom he had met during his travels. She shared email messages from some friends of theirs. (Click on the "Letters and Email" link in the menu below to view them plus other messages that we have received.) Heather then shared a very beautiful
poem she had written about her deep love for Noel. Because of its
highly personal content, Heather has requested that her poem not be
published here on this web site at this time. She indicated that
there might be a time in the future when she is willing to share it publicly. |
