With the generosity of honesty, you welcomed me to your family and I have felt a part of it all these years because of it. Krista's words are evocative of precisely my recollections. You have a dear and special family filled with intelligent and adventurous Souls. I have been inspired by knowing them and they ARE your legacy. May the Good Lord hold them all safe and under your purview.

Dear Krista - I was saddened to hear of the loss of your lovely Mom. Although I was not so fortunate to have ever met her, I felt that I did know her through the stories I'd heard and I know you two shared a special bond. Truly a remarkable woman whose essence will live on through her descendants. Deepest condolences to all who knew and loved her. Memories are forever.
