My dear friend Thelma has left us. It happened quickly and caught me by surprise. Though she was 100, she seemed invincible. I thought she'd live a long long time, well, at least so we could meet again after pandemic lockdown. I am grateful to have spent so much time with her over these past two years and that she was here to see our book come to fruition in September. She taught me a lot about living with passion and growing old with grace. Adieu my friend 💝
