I delighted in receiving her postcards and letters for the better part of 40 years. She was godmother to my son Bo. Bo's dad drummed for the Rounders 69-71, that's how we met. I visited her at the nursing home in Sarasota in 2010 and have lots of photos. She gave me some of her newer work on cd. When I stopped receiving her phone calls and letters I called the nursing home, but all they would tell me was that she was no longer there, but refused to tell me if she had died. So this at least gives me closure. Thank you for holding a service in her honor, I wish I could have attended. She was brilliant. " touched the stars like diamonds in my outstretched, greedy hands." I disremember..
