What a gorgeous tribute to an abviously amazing woman. I went to the link you provided and was awed by the words written for Pat. What a life, huh? We should all be so blessed to be a part of such exciting stuff. I love the "cutting the hole in the wall" story. It seems like Pat had such grand experiences.
When I read tributes like this, it convinces, more than ever, that life is meant to be lived to the fullest. We need to shed the dissapointments of the past and live each day with joy, remembering to give back because it's in giving back that we are truly blessed.
Pat Chew: a woman full of inimitable spirit, humor, individuality and strength. It was my pleasure to work with her over many, many years. And I raised more than a few glasses in friendship, slurped oysters, and shared several great meals.
One of a kind, and the world is bereft with the loss.
Thanks for posting the memorial. I wouldn't have known. I'm so sorry. She was such an amazing person. She was supportive in both my business and my art. As I write I can hear her laughter.
Kristin, I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. She sounds like an amazing, talented woman. Leukemia is a brutal disease and has taken many before their time. I am sorry and thanks for sharing her story with us. susan
