What a beautiful person and how tragic to have lost her. :( I love her comment on loneliness - that totally resonates with me. <br /><br />Such a touching post...

The parallels of your lives is really something. You have done her great honor here, sharing her with us. I am so sorry you had to lose her, that all in her life had to lose her. But you carry her still, it's so apparent. <br /><br />And none of it sounded "silly." Quite the opposite, it is deep and affecting. What better tribute than to show what you learned from someone?<br /><br />By the way, Peter in Paris tells me you gave him my greetings. Thank you for that! I hope I can meet him one day, and I hope you had a marvelous trip.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-57692630029923259892012-04-26T19:29:23.988-04:002012-04-26T19:29:23.988-04:00This beautiful tribute just broke my heart to read...This beautiful tribute just broke my heart to read. She was such a lovely person, and so dear to you. I love that you called her a "colt of woman." I am so sorry you lost this friend, and that her adopted family and family lost her also. Thanks for sharing this beautiful story with us. The photos were wonderful also.Sally Wesselyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470453773515491625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-68476229437665002942012-04-26T19:19:58.479-04:002012-04-26T19:19:58.479-04:00This is such a powerful and beautiful post, Jeanie...This is such a powerful and beautiful post, Jeanie. It shows so wonderfully the impact of very special friends on our lives. Like you, I've lost way too many dear friends far too soon -- and have tears in my eyes thinking of your great loss. You're so right: there is no way in the world for others to know how profoundly the loss of a friend can affect us and there are some of these losses that can be more devastating than the loss of a family member.Dr. Kathy McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02903015507894951725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-16593997280947936772012-04-26T16:09:59.609-04:002012-04-26T16:09:59.609-04:00This is so beautifully written, Jeannie.

Life does seem so different without her in it. We shared many interests as you and Patricia did. More than I realized at the time. I will always be happy that I had her in my life for as long as I did.
