Light and Life

This is Moon Lake in the morning light, taken in mid-September.
Steve's mother passed away on Friday after a long life, healthy and happy until the last few months. We will miss her gentle kindness. 
We leave today to attend the funeral and to spend a few days with family.

  4. Please tell Steve I'm sorry for his loss. We've been through that with Gary's mom and it isn't much fun. Even when they have lived a good life it's hard.
