Michael, your phone is disconnected now. Yet, I still email you on a regular basis. I keep going back to our last call. And I’m so sad that I didn’t have a piece of paper in my truck to see your television interview after the great fire. I can’t find a trace of Peeler aka Steve Moore of Whitethorn California. That’s the only way I can possibly find your daughter.. I spent days and days searching the web. To no avail.. I’m getting on in years . I’ll be sixty this year. I will always cherish the memories we made. You were a bright star in my life. I now watch the sun set every evening.. I pretend you paint every one just for me. I remain your faithful friend. 
Love Always.. Marilyn

Michael, it’s been a long week . However I found your son ! Thru a lovely Art Council.A woman named Bonnie got me in touch with Cindy’s Mother. She was very gracious and guarded. However she carefully noted your Attorneys contact information . And mine! I’m thrilled as I have faith that now  you can Rest In Peace .
I’ll never forget visiting you and your Mother in 94 or 95 my old truck was still new. It was a grand visit . You Mom just loved my old dog and she was an incredible seamstress. She was bedridden by then and you the sole caregiver for her. She missed her beautifully made clothes and you strung clothes line around the living room. So she could see all of her amazing creations. A calidiscope of fabric and amazing designs. I think you got your creative nature from her. 
She told me what a good son you were and that you took very good care of her, she did say that it was shameful that Sherman and Gerald never came to visit. She wanted you to have her house because of your loving care, even if you didn’t do the dishes very often. Goodness, you hardly had time . I remember how relieved you were that I was there, you were able to do errands without worry . I still have the delightful trinkets she gave me. And I’ll carry on with your non-conformist creative vein.. 
I’m so glad you are with her and have no doubt you are teaching art in Heaven. Until we meet again, my faithful friend.
I miss you , I talked to Rhys, Nick , Clint and Dave .. they are overjoyed and stunned at my success.. I’m still calling your land line, it sucks that your answering machine burned up in the fire with the rest of your earthly possessions . I’m going to call until it’s disconnected , still emailing you also .. 
I am truly blessed that you are my friend. Until we meet again ! You were so proud of my Certificate of Copy Rught from the Library of Congress
I remain your Princess of Beauty and Grace..

We met at Griswolds in Montclair in 79 I believe. We had wonderful times at art shows Claremont College. We played in Strawberry fields and gazed at the stars in wonder. We talked of books, learning, sharing and caring. I have all of your letters and hope your children are found. I will love you until the four winds cease to blow. I will treasure the art, pottery and leather wallet you made me from scrap and kitchen twine. I’ll miss our hours long phone conversations and the wonderful care packages you’d mail .. I remember staying with you at Steve Moore’s place in Whitethorn in 1981. And our glorious trip to Crater Lake. 
Be at peace my friend, you lost everything you fought so hard to keep in the great fire of 2018. Now, you have shoes on your feet and your good dog beside you. Love Marilyn
