Pinot's Mom was lost to us three years ago. I sent a Christmas card to her husband but it got returned "no such number". I re-sent that card and a new one this past Christmas and got an email reply as follows:

"Hi Candace:

Just wanted to let you know I received your card. Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts and reaching out. It's closing in on three years since Maggie passed due to complications from liver failure and a lot has happened. After a few months of intense grieving I decided to try dating and am fortunate to have met a wonderful woman named T...... We got married last spring and are doing great. As far as Pinot goes, she is doing fine and now has a step-sister, a 15 year old Bichon. Hope all is well with you and your gang.

Thanks again; Coop"
