Not sure what to say?

I was in class with Rhea one semester at Evergreen and this is what I remember that stayed with me, my whole life... so far:
In my youth, there were a few rare souls that seemed to cruise at altitudes I could only touch on rare occasions. When I was burdened with schoolwork and barely making it through each week's assignments, I distinctly recall Rhea showing up every Monday having spent the previous weekend exploring the Cascades and Olympics. It wasn't because she was ignoring her...

I knew Rhea for many years as we shared veterinary acupunture stories from our practices. I remember her excitement and sharing photos after the first trek visiting her elephant friends overseas. She was hooked! Rhea was always so kind in sharing her wisdom when I struggled with a behavior issue of a dog patient or one of my own dogs. She left this world a better place and will be missed.
