We will miss you terribly, but are glad you are now in a pain and worry free place. Thank you for all the contributions that you have made to our lives, not the least of which was the model of living life that you showed us - interested, engaging, challenging, willingness to try new things. And for being the grammarian you were, so that we could use language well and meaningfully.
For Diana and I, you were our surrogate mother; someone who listened, questioned, advised when appropriate, gave hugs and smiles and lots of encouragement. Since you had seen much more of life than us you were able to share your experiences and tie them to ours.
I know you disliked me taking your picture, but I/we wanted something of you for this time.
We love you!
