Dear Michael and the MacIver Family,
I am truly saddened at Chris' passing and for your loss.
A St. Lambert-Scotland-Arkansas girl. Kind, warm, funny, confounding, generous, wickedly funny, adorer of Tassel, courageous, a dedicated gourmande and delighted gardener, planter of time capsules and true lover of life. Committed to Sean Connery's Bond and his Mish Moneypenny.
May you traipse through fields with Fraser, Tassel Girl at your feet, stopping only to gaze at a distant loch or breath deep, then deeper, the sweetness of heather. Sip a chilled glass of wine or something stronger amidst the tulips and daffs, then the hydrangeas and finally a pumpkin outside a fir-green caravan with lemon custard shutters. A blossoming tree painted to the left of the door and a tall ship to the right, sails full. Wash your hair in the Crinan while Frase ties up the boat. Linger over a hard-won dinner and top up your glasses. Tassel content with her nose nestled over crossed paws, while a cat named Fred lolls in a fading patch of dappled sunlight.
Thank you so much for your everlasting friendship and for touching my life, "Bro." I send you love and my heartfelt gratitude. I will miss knowing you're here but wish you so much peace.
Adieu — to God — Christine.
With love,
Pam
