Kate, I did not get a chance to meet you but I feel as though I have come to know you through the memories that Lawrencia has shared with me and the stories that she has told me. Lawrencia has also shared with me, and I have benefited from, many of the lessons that you taught her. I wish I had a chance to meet you in person so I could thank you for what you have given me (especially bringing Lawrencia into this world and therefore into my life (and my Mom's life)). After reading the many tributes on this website and knowing how much you are still thought of and missed, I know that you were one special lady and mother. Candice XO
I give you this one thought to keep,
I am with you still, I do not sleep,
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain,
When you awaken in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone
I am with you still in each new dawn.
--- A Native American prayer.
