Not sure what to say?

Four years from your passing, Mopsey - What a joy of life you were! My first thought of you is your laughter! That wonderful laughter and joy that you brought with you. If there was an Eternal Bee Pollen of Joy, you were on it! Thank you for emmanating your joy, positivity, and compassion for so many things! What a swell of pride when our son could shadow you in India during your family's stay for your pediatric medicine work. Love, The Shuey-Blalock Family

Mopsy and I went to medical school together. She was one of the most honest, genuine and noble people I ever met. I am so sorry to learn of her passing

Dear Bruce,

I am so shocked to read of Mopsy 's death today, and so terribly sorry for your loss. Mopsy was so full of life and energy, it's hard to grasp.

It was wonderful to reconnect with you both at the St Stephen's reunion in 2014, and spend the day together at Ostia Antica and the meal at the beach. I have a wonderful photo of Mopsy and me wading in the Mediterranean on my refrigerator! I've tried to contact Mopsy by email several times without success since your...

Dear Bruce, I was shocked and saddened to learn just now of Mopsy's untimely death. I heard this through a member of the Mycological Society and thought this cannot be true.. This is Laura Goodwin aka. Lolly, and I was fortunate enough to accompagny you both last summer on our wonderful and successful foray with a plethora of beautiful chanterelles. Please know how truly sorry I am. I hope to see you in the future, Lolly Goodwin

Dear Bruce, I am so touched that you called to let me know of Mopsy's passing. I am so sorry for your loss. However, I am grateful for the chance to reconnect recently with Mopsy, first in NYC when she was on the way to her writing time in Italy, and later in your home on our way to a wedding in Santa Fe. Mopsy is such a vibrant and dedicated doctor, and a dear friend. We shall all miss her!

Dear Bruce,
We are so sad to learn of your loss. We will always hold dear our memories of Mopsy's laughter, intelligence, compassion, energy, joy of travel, and dedication to making this a better world.
Larry, Barbara, Emma, and Vera

Dear Bruce,
I am so very very sorry for your and your children's loss . And I feel such a loss too though I hadn't seen Mopsy since high school. She was a special person. I was looking forward one day in the not too far future to looking her up in Sante Fe to see again that eye crinkling joyful smile. All my sympathy, Scotty

Dear Bruce,
I just heard and send my love to you and Daniella, Maron, and Nathanial at this time of such loss. What a woman was Mopsy and what a family you all created as you have enriched this planet!
love , Janet
