Grammie, I was just looking through the photos people have posted here and reminiscing about all of those wonderful gatherings you and Mary hosted. Such a wonderful time! Thank you for bringing us all together. I also keep remembering how you would say that we are all exactly where we should be. So many times I wish I was doing a better job of being human. Then I remember what you said and remind myself everything is okay the way it is. I miss you. <3

My dear Elmyra,

Just the other day I was talking about how lucky I was to have the ladies in my life I had when living in Hadlyme. You and Mary have been so instrumental in my life and the growth of my spirit. I still miss you both more than you know.
Blueberry peach bread still brings a smile to my face, breakfast on the deck after a brisk morning skinny dip, sunset swims with Bjorn off the dock, Latihan and those precious times of the three of us sitting on the porch silently watching the sun go down over the lake holding hands. ...my love only grows Kathy

Dear Elmira,

What a world we are in right now. I am so happy you, Mary and my mom are not here to have to ride this wave. Better to be gardening with the angels, skinny dipping in a lily pond or swapping stories about New York with my mom. I hope Annie is with you singing and dancing in the stars. Thank you for touching my life and my heart with your love and kindness. You and Mary were one of the best chapters in my life, and yes, forever missed.
Love kathy

Dearest Serena, i remember so clearly when you told me of your dream in which you saw this name in large letters and were told that it was your name. You were so pleased with it - it seemed like it might be a good balance to your nonstop energy at a time when you said you'd like to slow down a bit! i think i may be the only one that ever called you by your dream name.....My dear Elmira, friend, spiritual sister, and second mother. i love you always. Last year i said i was writing up some memories of our time together. I'm finishing it tonight, as it happens. Keep exploring!   Louise

Dear Elmyra,
Spring is on it's way!! The sweet signs of another season of frolic at the lake! As all the lovely flowers bloom you would pick them for the vase on the breakfast table. Orange peeled coffee on, or another beautiful early morning swim and breakfast on the deck. I can still hear Mary calling You Who when I'd be late coming in from a sunrise boat ride with Bjorn.
These and so many other memories are some the best times in my life at the lake with you and Mary. I will always always cherish them.
I miss you!! Happy Birthday Love Kathy

Elmira I think of you every day and remember your giving me a hug and telling me how you could feel our love as I did. I felt the warmth in my arms even after I left and was miles away. You were a blessing. I miss your marvelous laughter. Renee

I just went through and looked at all of the photos. What a collection! They describe some of Grammie's life and some of ours and places where we intersect. Many pebbles tossed in the pond and ripples upon ripples. Let's not lose each other. Love all around. <3

Dear Elmyra,

I was just thinking of you two days ago. Funny how you show up every year around this time!. I love it. I think of you so often and actually was telling a story about you and Mary just yesterday.
My love for you is forever strong. I miss you beyond words!!

Dear precious Elmira,
I've been recently writing up many memories of our years together, and with Mary too, of course. I've been adding in pictures and it has been making me very happy because in remembering words and places, I can see it all so clearly in my mind's eye - it brings all those wonderful experiences so close again and I thank you once more for the life you gave me.  I trust you're continuing your explorations of everything and making lots of new friends. looking forward to our reunion. my love to you always, Louise

Did realize it was Elmira's birthday today, but coincidentally was remembering Elmira fondly at a women's dream circle with another one of her friends this afternoon. What a wonderful role model she was!

Harmony House is now occupied by a nice young couple with a young baby. The husband is an artist. To me, new young life in the house is symbolic of the continuum of human existence.

Elmira, dearest friend, sister, and spiritual mother -
now I am back living around the corner from Gungy Rd where water from Cedar Lake flows into Beaver Brook that runs through this property. how on earth did that happen? driving these roads is so strange without you and Mary physically present. but you are always present in my heart with all my love and gratitude for all you gave me.
love always till we meet again,    louise

My dear Elmyra,

Not a breakfast of eggs and muffins go by without me thinking of our mornings together. Eggs over easy and blueberry peach muffins and coffee. A little flower on the tray and pretty plate to create a lovely breakfast display. I miss you!!!! Love Kathy

The world was a better place in Elmira's presence---whether it was in Huntington, Lloyd Harbor or Essex. I think of her so often---of her choice to enjoy luncheon in the St. John's Church cemetery or as a hostess. . . . and her John as host. The cottage in my barn is a daily reminder of the birth of her grand-child Boyden.

My dear Elmira,  I have been thinking about you for days.  Imagine waking this morning to find forever missed and a chance to write how much I love you and miss you.  Of course you were so strongly on my mind!!  Very few times go by that I don't remember you, your friendship and the many laughs we shared.  I still tell the story to friends about you "having a book for me to read", breakfasts and all the lovely tea parties we had together.  28 years of friendship!!  I hope you are having a great time whether out and about inter-dimensionally or reincarnated may you be filled with joy and wonderment.  My love only grows  Kathy Skolem 

happy birthday!

happy birthday dear grammie
thinking of you today and every day
spring is just begining to melt the edges of a very stubborn winter
snow drops and crocuses are triumphantly peeking their heads above the drifts
the boys have become the fine young men you knew they'd be
soon they will be taking  me  by the hand
to see the sweet lilly of the valley
blooming just outside our door 
a smell that reminds us all of you
closing my eyes
i can hear your laugh mixed with tears
feel your hand on mine
know your heart is with me always
i love you
