*Dear Friends,
I knew my artist community extended family would rally for me..when just at that quiet hour..I would need those whispers of hugs that come from love.  Bill never looked much at my art here, but he wrote me this gorgeous letter expressing how proud he was that you all saw me as he does.  He still sees me.. and I'm sure he's smiling at all of you for loving me..and He and I love you all..for giving me your hearts..and for encouraging me , and most of all for your love.   Thank you for these kind thoughts in this lonely hour when I long for his voice.. I think you all gave me what he would have..and I love you for it. 
Love you for all being who you are.
Robin
