In Loving Memory

Steve and Lucy
Rocky Mountains hike, 2005

I would like to dedicate my post today to our dear friend, Steve...who passed away last Friday, June 13th. He was surrounded by all of us who loved him as he left this life.

Steve was one of the most remarkable people I have ever met; kind, compassionate and so caring to all who knew him. He fought a valiant battle against kidney cancer for almost two years with a dignity and grace we felt humbled to witness.

Thank you all for your messages of comfort and prayers for Steve and his wife, Kathleen this past week...they helped more than you know.

"Sogni dolci"(sweet dreams), Steve. We miss you more than words can say.

I'm still in Moorea...

...at least I'm trying to be in my head! Sorry I haven't been back here in several days to show you more pictures. I'm finding it hard to concentrate on the blog and work right now with all that's going on with our dear friends, Steve and Kathleen. Steve, who has been fighting kidney cancer for almost two years now is not doing very well. We are still praying for a miracle to happen...so thank you all of your kind thoughts and words because every one of them helps.

Anyway, here are a few more of my favorite pictures...these in particular really bring me back to the wonderful feeling of being there. It was truly a magical place.

Back soon...xox

Bonjour!

"View From our Villa in Moorea"

I'm back from Tahiti...and what an incredible trip it was! Lots to tell and show you...but I'm still recovering from a bit of jet lag...and a dear friend is in the hospital again fighting a very brave battle against kidney cancer.

I'll be back in a day or so. I missed you all very much! xox
