- Your laughter always sparkles.
- You make every place, no matter how humble, feel like the most welcoming and comforting home.
- How charm just naturally flows out of you; mesmerizing entire rooms.
- Creating magical gardens on simple balconies with wildflowers, roses, jasmine, and fragrant culinary herbs.
- The way you transform fabric into fantastical costumes; making Halloween dreams come true.
- Bringing distant places to life in deep, dark, rich water color; I feel like I will never experience the lighted night boats of Rio the way I have from your painting.
- Teaching me to always look for the answers, seek the truth, and never take anything for granted.
- Taking me to my first political action; helping me understand the importance of standing up in the face of adversity and conflict, in a peaceful and powerful way.
- Always embracing a sense of spirit and adventure, without losing your own individuality.
- Giving me the strength, support, love and guidance, making me the person I am today.
