My first response is to be so really, really ANGRY that anyone, much less one so very good and kind as Lolly could be taken away. And then her continued presence in all those she touched reminds me to remember that which she valued and to try to live as she did; replacing those negative emotions with extended love to all the world. I'm afraid I'm not nearly so good at it as Lolly. She was amazing.
Bo, and Anneliese, you carry on her legacy of love. Thank-you so much for sharing, it means a great deal.
