My blessings and gratefulness for all that you shared with me. My summers at Montecito-Sequoia, from Cito to Kilt helped to shape who I am today. Your gift of self was priceless...with love and gratitude.

I had the pleasure to know Pony for just about 50 years. My last visit with her was in February with my sister Kathy/Dusty. We talked, sang camp songs and had a great visit. Montecito and Pony had such an impact on my life and I will always be grateful. Montecito and Pony will always have a special place in my heart.

Condolences to the family, it is hard to say good-bye. I got to spend time with Aunt 'Pony' over the years with Bud and Richard and minor adventures--like going to the crowded Santa Cruz Boardwalk. God keep you in love and peace. Michele
