With thanks to my friend Liz de Nesnera for posting about this (she in turn got the idea from our mutual friend Peter O’Connell), today, the third of April is Good People Day.
Like Liz, I offer my thanks to Peter for supplying the graphic
Also like Liz, I could provide a long list of special people who have been and continue to fill my life with delightful relationships. But, this day will henceforth always have a bittersweet quality about it, because one of the very best examples of Good People that I’ve ever encountered was a dear lady named Helen Keener. We all knew her as Nana. She died today at the age of 96. She was my wife Cinda’s grandmother. In what I can only see as God providing the setting to match our mood, the rain is falling in Charlotte today.
Bob:
The wonderful truth about the passing of great people (and I use the word wonderful very carefully here) is that they are in the express lane to heaven.
How lucky your family was to have her for so long.
My condolences to your family for your loss.
Best always,
– Peter
Peter,
Thank you for your very kind comments.
Be well,
Bob
Bob,
My prayers and support go to you, your wife and everyone touched by the life of Helen.
How comforting it must be to know she is in the presence of her creator this very moment.

I’m sorry I’m so late in expressing my sympathies to you and Cinda and your whole family.
Good people seem to run in your family! 🙂
