Kate's Mom

Thanks, crabneesh.

We agreed after I wrote this in an email to Kate a few days ago:

I can't begin to presume about your experience, but I do know that the shock is big, the loss of your best friend is bigger than calculable, and no matter how you go through a day it's going to hit you upside the head/heart.

Have met both of you Nice Folks in "3-D" and Ms. Kate also.

My kindest thoughts,  wishes and prayers go out towards Kate,  Kate's Mom and Family.

Hope that Ms. Kate finds solace,  peace and strength in the troubling times.

All the best to You & Family,  Ms. Kate RoShambo 

P.S.  I still have the Elephant book,  but spaced the mailing address.  One of these days I shall put that in the mail.

I saw Ms. Ro at Shoreline for a few minutes last week and she was her beaming glowy self, which is always nice to see.

She was seeking some direction which I was clumsily unable to provide, but fortunately my friend was.

I'm sure she's hurting, I still am from my mom's passing last September, but it was good to see her out & about and smiling.

Because really, what else is there to do but to keep on chooglin'? 

Wasn't going to put this up here but this thread gave me reason.  My grandmother Betty passed on Saturday after a long full life.  

Not trying to take away from the intent of this thread but I thought it was apropos to honor 2 Betty's at once.  Come to think of it every Betty I've ever known is a bad ass special woman.  

Peace... 

I was fortunate 2 meet Ro at the Cap, then C her again at TXR.

Sending positive vibes during a difficult time 

Many thanks for the kindness 

it’s been a rough month and not sure when grief subsides 

I’m doing my best and seeing music helps!

I hope to see all of you out this summer and still have moments where I just can’t believe she is gone 

truly the worst.

I want that book, Stu

and so true, Jonas 

betty’s Rock:)

shoreline was fun, Lance 

I got to kiss Ramblin Jack Elliott!!!

Much to you, Ro! Great pic!

Kate, glad to hear and see you are out and about doing your thing!

Sending you (((((healing vibes)))))

and wishes for happy memories to gently wash over the grief...

Hang in there Kate - its only a path you can walk, we are just here to hold your hand if you need it !

Hopefully see ya soon 

peace

Peace and love to you.

oh man Kate, I am deeply sorry for your loss.  i wish you love and comfort an send you hugs.  I’m really really sorry. 

Kate!

Hope to see you you in Petaluma to give you a gigantic Hug of the Century.

I will be going to Forrestville friends before ,so keep in touch! Love you AND your never ending  support.

CRABNESH!!!! 

Thank you for ALL the Many offers over the past years to get together with me for a cocktail,away from UCSF!  Even though we never met in 3-d your invites meant so much to me.I could never leave him for that treat.

Thank you for your dedication to.the researchers Area at UCSF.Unfortunately,Henry had a home accident due to over THC/Seizure medication on a deck swing at home.

Henry so loved you and your stories!

So many good friends here!

RO, so sorry for your loss. I don't know what it's like to be unprepared to lose a parent, as both of mine were ill for long periods, and their passing was a blessing, but even the was hard. My heart goes out to you.

Jonas, sorry to hear of your loss as well. Sorry I wasn't able to see you last weekend. I've gotta make it up your way soon! I almost pulled a surprise appearance at Litchfield last month, but it was just that little bit too far for a same night turnaround. BRYAC is about as far as I'll go for a same-day trip.

Peace to all here. It has become cliche, I guess, but enjoy every sandwich, and try not to leave friends and family with a cross word that you might not get the chance to make right.
