Dear Carrie, even as I am saddened by your loss, I cannot help but be uplifted in learning even a little about your mother and her life, so richly and joyously lived. Your mother remains someone to emulate, a signifying woman indeed.

Dear Carrie, Rand and Laurie, I send love, hugs and deepest sympathy in the loss of your Mom. she was such a gift as a friend for many years as we worked together and then as our lives just passed from time to time-but always in my heart and that of all my family.

Laurie, Rand, and family ~ The number of lives, both human and animal, that your mom touched is infinite.
