From Sharon Smith

Hello Lauralyn,

I’m hoping that you remember me. I have been meaning to get in touch with you for some happy work related news. And then I got word about Eddy. I spent some time on the Eschner family website. Thanks for your hand in creating it and making it available. How far reaching Eddy’s influence was, and is. I spoke with him a few years ago when I first heard about his illness. He said to live every day. His message was so simple, and yet so powerful. I made a practice of sending him little prayers most mornings during our “minute of silence” before teaching my middle school art class. No matter how nuts the kids were, I was grounded in living my life, my calling. I want you to know that my thoughts are with you and your family. Take care.

Sincerely,

Sharon M. Smith
