Update from Oct. 12, 2022

I've been thinking about ways to cope with Michael's upcoming yahrzeit (Oct 15 Gregorian calendar, Nov 3 Hebrew calendar), and decided to start a virtual food drive for Hearts & Hands Food Pantry in Huntersville, NC. This food bank has a special connection with Michael and our history.

If you donate to this (https://www.amazon.com/hz/wis…) or even your own local food bank, I'd love to know what you send. Just post in comments or send a message with what you send between now and Nov 3 and I'll post our total donations on this memorial page. So far, I have sent 3 boxes of frosted flakes and 6 quarts of almond milk. He loved cereal.
