One thing I keep thinking about today is how much I wish I could talk to Larisa, and of course, she is the one person I cannot talk to. So here is what I would say...
hey Lareess! I am not only very sad, but very mad that this happened to you. Sometimes life just doesn't make sense. You were a bright and shining star in my world and I know you will be missed by many. I already think of you every time I watch CSI or eat lobster, but now I will be looking into the heavens for a new, bright star to make a wish on.
Wherever you are, I hope you can hear those monks chanting for you. It must be beautiful.
I will really, really miss your smile
Love, Martha
