Fern Hoff says
DeAnne, please accept my sympathy at your husband’s passing. I so appreciated your friendship for the short time we were part of the Red Hat group together. I understand what you have experienced because my own husband was gone from home from November, 2020, until the end of June this year. He had COVID and with his MS, it really hit him hard. He is home, but is in a power wheelchair. If you wish to connect via FB messenger, we could have coffee sometime. Fern Hoff.
