I would like Hal to hear my voice and see whether he would respond to it. Hal and I had a unique and special relationship. A week before this stroke, he told me I was a special, excellent writer. I finally believe his praise. Thanks Hal or Barty.

Hal, I miss talking—with love, Bill

Dear Hal, We send you much love and many hugs from California! We wish we could be in Ann Arbor to help you. Keep up the good progress you are making. You are greatly loved. Ann and Mike Savageau

Cheering you on Hal. I am wearing a bracelet that was sent to me from Tanzania. It says 'Pole Pole' on it which means 'slowly, slowly' in Swahili. When I am visiting in Kenya and Tanzania, I hear it when learning new things. Pole Pole Hal.

Sending love and hope for Hal's continuing recovery, and strength to an amazing family that has come together in remarkable ways to support him.

Dear Hal, and Barbara, and all your family, My heart is with you every day, as your courage and stamina continue.

So glad to hear about your progress each day, Hal!

Delighted to help make such a valuable support system possible. Karen & Henry
