What a simple, elegant, powerful statement — sensitive and with the very lightest touch of somber humor. Bravo to the wordweaver, with gratitude.

Thank you for posting these photos. Rae meant so much to me as a friend, fellow artist, and mentor, but most of all, I always felt like she considered me family. If someone could either post or contact me and let me know where she is buried, I would like to pay her a visit. Thanks. artgrrl33@gmail.com.
