With so much grace, Fay has left the planet.

Dearest friends and family,

Fay left us at 6:11 pm this eve.
This afternoon, the nurses said, she was on her way.
Fabia was the last to say good bye.
This evening, the nurses said Fay was a patient who died with grace.

She slipped away once we had all come through, squeezed her hand and left the room,
leaving her the space to move along.

Where I live in the Hudson Valley, the sun is shining brightly and I had to go hike and think of our Fay. As I labored up the hill, breathing hard, I thought of Fay, laboring on into her journey, ever the graceful athlete passing me and soaring on miles ahead.

Good bye sweet Fay.
You shall be missed.
We will think of you daily, singing your praises, telling the stories
and
on July 18th at 11am
at the Church of the Redeemer in Newton, Ma
We will gather and hold hands and hug and be with you
all together.
