An Elder

L, our secretary, is the wife of a former elder, R.

L has been going nuts calling people, emailing, and generally spreading her anger all around.  For three days.  Today she came in and shared her bile with the volunteer who came in to do the bulletin.  Sad.

I, along with the elders, just received a note from R.  He wrote to tell us L is doing better.  The flavor of the note was an apology.  I think he has been a bit embarrassed by her behavior.  In his note, there was no hint of anger.  I think he is still processing his own thoughts and feelings on everything.  Nothing even remotely hostile.  He sounded in control and reasonable.

There is a reason R was an elder.  I have some hope there will be some resolution.
