Oh, Caroline~
My heart goes out to you--as it always has. I've only just found out that Sandy died. That he lived happily with you and the rest of his family to such a rounded age consoles me.
Every so often I thought to myself, "I really must get in touch again with Sandy & Caroline." It's my own fault that I didn't.
Losing your soul-mate is a shattering experience, as well as a great physical shock, as you are finding out. Eat as you must. Sleep as much as you can. Feel the great waves of love sweep over you from all of us, everywhere.
We're still here in Berkeley. Ethan a great musician at age 43.
I remember clearly your last night on the radio show, when Sandy sang, "Berkeley's about the best of the lot. It's given me the best thing that I've got. You know what I mean, it's my Caroline, she's the one thing I'm not leaving behind..." Much love to you, sweetie.
