260901 - Shopping at Costco this afternon, Sharee saw me and introduced
260902 - herself, because did not recognize her with civilian cloths.

260925 -    2.  Saw Sharee at Costco today.  Actually, she saw me and had to
260926 -        introduce herself.  I didn't recognize her "out of uniform."
260928 -         ..
260929 -    3.  Sharee was kind and generous saying how sorry everyone was
260930 -        about Mil [...died on 100729, and memorian on 100731 2221.
260931 -        ref SDS 4 RJ5H...]  She asked how I'm doing?  I glanced at the

260935 -    4.  It was such great fun pushing the cart around Costco for
260936 -        Millie, while she selected stuff.  The last few trips, she
260937 -        pushed the cart to use as walker.  On our last trip to Costco
260938 -        she got a kick driving an electric cart, and talked about using
260939 -        one at Safeway, Macy's - all her favorites.  Two days later she
260940 -        was gone. Unbelievable.

260948 -    5.  So, it was wonderful seeing a familiar face today, just like
260949 -        you and I met up back in May or June at the Costco gas station,
260950 -        remember?  Sheree gave me a hug, and I said to say hello to the
260951 -        gang in the Chemo clinic.  Mil loved all her care givers - you
260952 -        of course, Sharee, Barbara, Laura, Julie, Anne, Dianna - don't
260953 -        mean to leave anyone out... [...following up Arlette's letter

270411 -        months after losing Millie, this is a lot for the family to
270412 -        process.  They of course have no idea how complex case
270413 -        management becomes, but are fast learners, and should be okay.
