To the Editor:

Reflecting on this past summer, I have to say, this summer was one of the hardest times I have experienced in my lifetime. Over the last three years I have witnessed my younger brother, Kurt Horensky, battle cancer, culminating with his death this past August. That being said, the people of this island, both past and present residents, have touched me in a way that exceeded my wildest expectations.

Speaking for my family, I am grateful for the community’s outpouring of love over the last three years – many of you…
