My friend Anne Ohlson passed on from this life to her next adventure on Thursday, July 1st. I organized a small team to help her over the last month. Some friends had already been supporting her since March. Debby Creasy was on this intimate and caring team. She was visiting a friend in Virginia when Anne was in her last days. She wrote this to me, and sent the image of the river and this beautiful poem. I hope you find it soothing in your days.

Good morning Paula,
My muse is here by this beautiful river; I’ve been working on this poem since yesterday morning. Still needs some work, but I wanted to share it with you. I know we all are thinking about and praying for Anne constantly. Writing this has helped and makes me feel like I’m doing something as lovingly and meaningfully as I can. Hope you like it.
Love you,
Debby
