Plenten heroes

Connie,

I'm so very sorry for your loss. Bonnie had it all - a wicked smart brain, a gentle soft heart and a gutsy, courageous will. I can't imagine what these days must be like for you. I think of you often and send warm, healing thoughts.

I'm writing to you here on the blog because I also want to let you know that you and Bonnie will forever be my "plenten heroes". The way you travelled the journey was inspiring and humbling. You stood so tall, moved with full grace and summoned such grit. In so many ways I am in awe.

I want to be sure you know that you have provided a very valuable gift to many of us - evidence that we can rise above heart wrenching agony and continue to taste our lives. This has changed things for me.

I send my prayers every morning to Bonnie. I send you my warm thoughts, deep gratitude for the rare gift you have given us and wishes for solace and comfort amid the pain.

Much love,

Susan
