She was a caring one that I had the nice fortune to fulfill whereas I used to be dwelling in CA (earlier than transferring to MI). Even after I’d moved we might usually put up on one another’s partitions and message privately on Fb. We have been going to go tenting collectively, sometime. She beloved my tiny trailer and envisioned dwelling a easy, downsized, even presumably off-the-grid type of life sometime. I got here very near having the ability to go to her one final time however was only a bit too late… I used to be 11 days away from driving by way of the town she lived in. She handed away unexpectedly final June.
One of many final conversations we had on Fb was one the place she had shared she had discovered a gaggle of people that have been a brand new group that welcomed her into their fold. Once I advised her my thought to begin an origami folding membership, she whole-heartedly inspired me to take action. She believed being a part of a group could possibly be factor.
Certainly one of her all time favourite footage, the night time she met Woz.
