I as a rule don't go into churches, being Jewish and all.... So I didn't attend the memorial service. So I went to the life party for Kris. I met her daughters (and friend), Meteor Blades, N in Seattle, Kitsap River, and others (who's names now escape me).
I met exmearden on line thru DKos thru her writings. I find that her words, deeds and actions all matched up with her passion of life. Yes I was shocked when she did leave us and deeply saddened to tears.
I had asked NurseKelly if I could help out while she was ill and needed transportation, all arrangements were taken care of, so all I could do was pray.
SOOOOOOO.....
Now that I am known beyond my comments, I will in another blog tell the DKos world about my self, but in the mean time.
Thank you Kris for your words of inspiration that have kept me going here when at times I just want to throw up both hands and leave.
