Hello dear friend,
You're never far from my mind even after these long years. Today i am reminded of the amazing way you always included everyone, never judged or turned away -- no matter the circumstances. you just accepted everyone exactly as they showed up in the moment and that is so rare. In fact, i don't know anyone else who has quite that knack. You made everyone feel loved. you made room for them. it was such a gift you gave to the world. this and so many other talents... you are such a beautiful soul and i do miss you every single day. Thank you for being my friend and walking with me for so many years. You graced my life with a unique and beautiful light that will never go out.
