"When a loved one leaves this world, the other world no longer seems scary or far away.
It's being left here all alone, without them, that is most painful."
I'm late to write this, Skye, simply because I just can't face the reality that I even have to.
I grieve because it's so hard to believe that you're gone. I've been beyond sad since you left, knowing that the phone won't ever ring again with that wonderful rich voice of yours on the other end.
I look back & reminisce over all the good times we had since we first met over 40 years ago.. All the long phone conversations we had. All the laughs & tears we shared. The roast chicken dinners you used to make that were so yum. And then, when you went on a 'cooking big dinners' strike. I gave you a sign for your kitchen that read...."It should not take 2 minutes to eat something that took me 2 hours to cook."
I remember the wonderful times we shared in Europe with our children.
And, years later, all the fun you & I had when we went on our "Thelma & Louise" car trip that we took from Florida to Maine to Chicago & back, visiting your family along the way.
Every morning we'd wake up, start up the car, look at each other & sing Willie Nelson's "On the road again...", driving off to a new destination, laughing like two silly school girls.
You were such a class act, Skye. Beautiful in every way. Onstage & off. You were so full of love...for your children, your family, your friends, life.
I will always miss you. Wherever you are now, be warm & at peace. God bless you always. Till we meet again, know that I love you,
Marta (Kellgren)
