Mary, Jay and your family - John Muir said, "Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and sole." Celebrate the wondrous life of you Mother, knowing she will live on in the beauty that surrounds you. You have my deepest sympathy.
