Today Patti and I are in contemplative moods. Last Saturday 'Atta' .. a friend (our ages) Patti has known forty-five years enjoyed dinner with another friend. After their dinner out together each of them returned to their separate homes.
Later in the evening 'Atta' called her friend to say she was having trouble breathing. In the ten (10) minutes it took her friend to reach her .. 'Atta' had passed away. Just-like-that! Snap-your-fingers! Gone! She had no signs what-so-ever of being ill.
Turn right 1/2-mile further down the road to the right in the below photo and you are at Patti's Condo.
The snow is all-but-gone. It is June in Alaska! Spring is Springing!
IT IS ONLY WITH THE HEART THAT ONE CAN SEE RIGHTLY.

Her memorial service .. a celebration-of-her-life .. followed by a very pleasant reception .. was this afternoon. It was warm and intimate. Each of us released a helium-filled balloon into the afternoon sky outside the church after the service. Patti and I are still feeling the lumps-in-our-throats as we watched all of the balloons go skyward.
Patti, myself and all-who-knew 'Atta' remain stunned!
