Lani Barkley
In memory of my beautiful, loving mother, I offer this tribute. This is the year of firsts, and how we miss you so. With each month since this January, we have had to learn a new rhythm of being. Yet even as you are profoundly missed, you are profoundly loved and we draw strength from this. We cherish that we can sense your love, warmth and wit, that we can experience joyful memories and feel your touch. One day you said to me something along the lines of “in the end, it is all about love.” As we enter our first Christmas season without you here with us, this is what we will draw strength from. Love. Your love. Love always.
Wendy, Jim, Louis & Paul
