I love you, dear friend, and I thank you for your life-changing advice, warm heart, great conversation, gentle and generous spirit, and abundant big smiles. You always lit up every room, and I know when you arrived in Heaven you already had your wings. Thank you for your motherly love to my husband and then to me for so many decades, for afternoon visits, gentle kindness, quick mind and wit, and lively conversation. You are blessed, and it rubbed off on everyone, whether known or unknown to you. You will remain to so many of us a positivity influence, love guide, spiritual up-lifter, gracious giver, and demonstrator of how to accentuate the positive. You will forever be my happiness hero. “Death is not the ending of anything. I believe all of us are only energy that becomes matter. When the matter goes away, the energy still exists. You can’t destroy it. It never dies. It manifests itself somewhere else.”— Willie Nelson
