You are both lucky to have lived in the brother/sister relationship, even though it was never a spoken one. Your tender words make me wish that I had known her.

Beautifully said, Les, and you describe JoEllen just as she impressed me in the two short years I began to know her. One of the first things about her that made an impression on me was her vitality at her age. It is quite discomforting to think about how soon after she was gone.ginamariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089952628170827436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-86079810465978451772011-07-08T11:46:31.265-04:002011-07-08T11:46:31.265-04:00What a lovely tribute to your friend.What a lovely tribute to your friend.Chris Bonneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08000537083398732641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-90335719730210990152011-07-08T11:44:10.487-04:002011-07-08T11:44:10.487-04:00I'm seeing a theme with those blue garden acce...I'm seeing a theme with those blue garden accents, they really pop in her beautiful garden. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
