[Oe List ...] Elaine Richmond died 9:30pm 21/09/10

[Carol Crow]

Dear Ray and family,

My heart is with you as you go down a path travelled by many of our  
colleagues and friends recently.  Thank you for sharing your and  
Elaine's story much as Nancy shared the final hours of Fred's  
journey.  These are precious, poignant moments to be recorded and  
remembered.

I am so glad we were able to spend time with you at the time of Miko's  
(Robertson) wedding in June.  Both of you gave your all to making that  
a wonderful event filled with rich stories and song, rituals and  
symbols.

Blessings, and gratitude for Elaine's wonder-filled life,
Carol
