A few months back I began a journey with a dear friend I met in 2015. I was part of her journey because her husband of sixty years - also a cherished friend - kept me informed from afar.
Her life was filled with immense love and unswerving faith. I was not there at the end, but her whole family and many friends were by her side.
She was a person of limitless grace. To say I will miss her is inadequate.

As someone who recently experienced a loss and is still healing, I feel for you. My deepest sympathy to you, her family and friends.
ReplyDeleteChris; Thanks for the comment. I suspect the healing from your recent loss will be with you for some time.
DeletePat, you have captured her completely. Limitless grace. Yes! Thank you for your beautiful writing.
ReplyDelete"Anonymous"; Thank you for the comment and helping me celebrate her life. I'm certain anyone who knew her well - as you likely did - would affirm my characterization of her limitless grace; thanks also for doing that. I'm a better person simply having been in the presence of that kind of grace for many hours since 2015. I'm guessing you feel the same.
