In the interest of safety, many of us have sacrificed cherished pastimes, pleasures and occupations, as well as personal contact with friends and relatives.  However, in the midst of the sorrow, new ways have emerged which, although not always quite adequate, sometimes result in unexpected joy. Together, we will grieve our losses, celebrate the blessings, and look forward to the other side of this chaotic and confusing time.
