While health prohibits my being there in person I am so there with all of you who enriched her life and gave it warmth and support and meaning. To all her family know I treasure that dear, quirky, wild-and-wooly, loving friend as I am sure others do as well and hope that provides some measure of comfort to you. I send this with profound gratitude for the gift of our 40 yr. friendship and with profound sympathy for the family who love her so. Ruth
