tis the season

A friend and mentor passed away earlier this week. She lived an admirable life, took care of her friends, family and all the creatures who shared her world. She made a difference in many people's lives and took care to set a good example in her community. I'll miss her and her art.

She was in her 80's, lived by herself in her own private idaho, could drive and was as sharp as a tack. She collapsed on her deck in her woods and died of a massive heart attack. As much as I hate to see her go I know it was a blessing since a slow decline would have been completely unacceptable in her eyes!
