Hello,

I have arrived home safe and sound.

I am sorry to announce that a friend from Central Texas College recently passed away unexpectedly. She was extrememly encouraging and supportive of my decision to undertake this journey. She is one of the friends who kindly mailed me care packages of needed items when I was in Italy and always had a kind word when I needed it.

Sharon, you are loved and will be missed more than you could ever know. It has been my honor to know you.

Remember, friends, life is so short and tomorrow is not promised to any of us. Please follow your hearts, pursue your dreams, and LIVE.

Amy
