Dear Linda: We talk of Noel every day. I am so glad the poem was read at the service so I could be there in spirit. It was written in a style that Noel loved to honor his poetic appreciation and writing abilities. He wrote such a lovely poem for Mom when she passed, it just seemed important to do the same for him. If you read Walt Whitman or others of that time, this came out like that. Maybe Noel was writing it as it is unlike anything I have ever done before. I hope I captured Noel's character more than anything. Take good care and take time to grieve naturally...in your time. Love, Dori and Rick
