Not sure what to say?

I never knew what words could do until I met Rynn. Her language--both as a poet and as a friend--will continue to inspire me every day.

Dear Booher and Williams Families:
My prayers are with all of you in this time of grief with the unexpected death of Rynn. I remember her fondly as a child and her expertise, in those young years, identifying art in the European museums!
God bless all of you.
