Thanks, Mark,
I had sent this to Honey.
Honey,(and Bee & John)
They say, "When a person dies, a universe dies."
What a wonderful cosmos danced behind her smile and what a universe of beauty
twinkled in her eyes. Perhaps we are gone from her cosmos, but, thank God, she
is not gone from ours. Though her laughter and the sparkle of her eyes are
gone and the wondrous flow of wisdom from her heart. Few can even attempt to
be the open hearth of hospitality that was so much of the mission of her life
and so much of her wisdom and joy, but if we try she will be with us. If we
remember the stories and songs she will be with us and when we look out through
the mist-wrapped cypress and hear the distant crash of the deep Pacific, we
will remember that the universe she had gathered behind those eyes is now
returned to the home from which it drew its inspiration and which -- with wave
and mist, with starlight and quiet earth -- in the end, embraces us all. Let
us remember -- as her courage convinced me, she knew -- that in the end this
embrace is not an icy or angry or empty embrace, but an embrace of love.

Hey Kit, sorry
couldn’t answer the phone when you called- I was driving- running a few
last errands for the big Erik and Ryan teen birthday bash we’re throwing
tonight (delayed party)
Yours was sad news, but alas not unexpected.
I sent this along to Honey, et all:

So sorry to hear your news...
For so long it seemed Cynthia would live forever.
She certainly will live forever now in all our hearts
And, if anyone will give ‘em hell in
Heaven, she would!
And that brings a smile.
Love to all
of you for sharing Cynthia with the rest of us.
I send along these Farina lyrics that always remind me of Cynthia and her
magical home
Come wander quietly and listen to the wind;
Come near and listen to the sky ---------
Come walking high above the rolling of the sea
And watch the swallows as they fly.
There is no sorrow like the murmur of their wings
There is no choir like their song
There is no power like the freedom of their flight,
While the swallows roam alone
love to all of you,
Mark Wilke
