How do we pay tribute to our mother? A mother, who seemed to spend her life in search of some elusive happiness that was always just out of reach. She was beautiful, elegant, well spoken, and talented. She was a great observer of people and the world around her. She drew upon these observations to craft wonderful worlds of fantasy, adventure and bravery in her fictional works. She loved classical music and jazz, poetry and the visual arts. She had a zest for life that was evident in her photography.
Mom, you will be greatly missed. We send you off now to go in peace and be with your loving husband. To quote your favorite line, " Let's go have lunch!"
