Shalom Maria,
I hope this letter finds you well and happy. I just wanted to express to you how much I miss you and how much your cousins, Zack and Miles, miss you. We talk and think of you often. I met some of your brothers and sisters in Colorado and they were doing good work in the world. For this I am grateful.
If you should be in northern California during your travels, please know that you are always welcome here -- with no judgment or conditions. I still live in the same house, though I hope to move in the next year or so. Your cousins are doing well. Zack is a chef and Miles graduates high school this year. Your brother Joe lives here with me now, and this has been a gift in my life.
May God bless and keep you happy. Please know that I always hold a special place for you in my heart and I pray that I will get to see your beautiful, smiling face again.
Missing you and with much love,
Your Auntie Angela
