my heart is heavy with your grieving. Shirley was, in so many ways, a gift to all of us. i so enjoyed her presence in the yoga classes i led; i think 14 years she attended classes with me, and this gave me opportunity to occasionally meet other members of her family. i loved her gardening stories and her gardening feet! oh, and how she whipped her car into the parking lot! i loved her joyful, amused laugh, her strong, tall posture, and her dedication to her healthful aging. being only a year older than my own mother, she served as a role model to me. i am so grateful to have known her and to so often have shared practice space with her. this photo of her, in strong, possessed Warrior II pose is how i hold her forever in my heart. her goodness shall continue on through everyone she touched.
it was a beautiful service. i am so glad i could attend and witness more of the beautiful life Shirley lived through some of the many people she touched.
