December 2, 2021 at 9:41 pmSuch wilt thou be to me, who must,
Like th’ other foot, obliquely run;
Thy firmness makes my circle just,
And makes me end where I begun.

December 1, 2021 at 1:30 amOur heartfelt sympathy to Vilma’s family. She will most certainly be missed; her smile and laugh, her kindness, her forthrightness, her tell-it-like-it-is approach, and definitely her sense of style and fashion will definitely be long remembered. May she rest in peace and rise with Christ in glory.
