She will be greatly missed. Love you all. Cherish every moment as if it was your last. Life is not about how many breaths you take its about the moments that take your breath away.

I have come to love the crustiest of crusts, favour peas over most vegetables, be glad that I have curly hair just like you, will think of you two days after my birthday and know that you are thinking of me, forever more think of pork chops as a traditional Slavic Thanksgiving meal, will treasure the stories you told me of my unknown grandfather, Jack and your days in Montana and New Jersey as a girl, remember all those special single days each year visiting for the holidays as a child and all the insight and wisdom you have shared with me since moving to Seattle. Your physical presence will be missed but you will live on in my memory and heart. Thank you for being so much a part of who I am.
