But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

From Ohio to California Gail and I were friends in the 60's and 70's, then unfortunately lost touch. It seems like yesterday! Her prints/etchings artwork are so beautiful- she lives on in the beauty and in the hearts she touched. Sundara Jordan
