I am thinking of you with much love today, Gayle. These last few years have been so full of up-ending emotion for you, encompassing so much of what we humans can possibly feel. I am thankful for the ways you map the journey through these experiences for the rest of us through your writing and through the depth of your lovely soul.
ReplyDeleteMarking the day with you, and remembering your lovely mother and feeling grateful to her for raising you and Elizabeth to be the warm, generous, gifted people you are. Sister power!
ReplyDeleteA lovely memorial, indeed. I met her a few times at special occasions and remember her as warm, welcoming and beautiful. Indeed, her legacy lives on in her children and grandchildren.
