Thank you for this. I didn’t know she was on caring bridge. I hope I will have the strength to read it. Seeing her place is a special gift.

We only called and texted after her move. She told me the story of the gift of the fireplace before the new place was finished, it was a special thing to her.

It’s still unreal to me that she died. We spoke an hour after she got the diagnosis; the call was just to say hello.

I know she felt the support from family and friends, she mentioned visits and homemade soup, eventually a home for Sam.

She did so much for others, for me. She was a caring, talented and shining person, so colorful, giving, talented, and incredibly kind. I still expect to see a message full of sketches or other inspiration.

I see her influences everywhere in this one life.
I miss her art, it was something I thought would be around for so much longer.

I am lucky to have known you, La.
You will be wonderful forever.

I haven't had time to cry.
I haven't had time to say good bye.
I think of you in all the little moments.
My sister. My friend.
Until we meet again.

I remember when she was picking things out for her new place. She would stop in and show me pics of things. She was so excited about here bar lights. I wish she would have had more time to enjoy it all. The smile she would get when she talked about her new place was priceless her whole face would just light up with joy.

Many phone conversations and text message sessions happily spent with La as she chose the details and the decor of her new home. She was so excited and so grateful to move into this beautiful place. It really is beautiful. Chez La. If you can decorate in heaven, La is already on it. I love and miss you, La.
