Thank you both for your kindness in inviting everyone. I am sure it will be a joyous day, as her life was so full of joy there is much to celebrate.
Sadly, I live too far away, in Norfolk. But I will be thinking of you on that day, and dear Mary of course.
Best wishes, Pete.

Celebrate Mary’s life? Absolutely!! Every single day. Her physical body may have taken leave, but her life remains in the hearts, souls, and minds of everyone and anyone with whom she connected. Considering she led a full, rich life here on earth, I imagine there are more people than you will ever know who celebrate their life connection with Mary all the time! Here in the State of Michigan, in the U.S.A., Mary is a smile maker of the first water. 🙂

Thanks to both of you. I keep thinking of Mary and Llamas, not those in Afghanistan, but some here in Dumfries and Galloway that I met doing a workshop with Mary and Margaret. Mary was inspiring, encouraging me and others with her determined persistence and gentle smile. I can’t attend but shall celebrate from a distance on the live stream.
