I can’t believe she is gone. She was a fun and hard-working presence whatever she was involved in. A wonderful friend.

We hope you heard our prayers for you at the Tirta Water Temple in Bali.
You left too soon but the evening sky shines even brighter now. You were a dear friend of ours for over four decades. DWP would not have been the same without you. There will be a hole in our lives without you. We will always remember your laughter and commentary, your hugs and kisses. Peace be with you.
