Remembering #2

Remember always that you are just a visitor here, a traveler passing through. your stay is but short and the moment of your departure unknown. ~Dhammavadaka


Candace Goldwater was an artist and philanthropist. She was also an avid knitter and spent many happy and sometime hilarious hours teaching those of us less talented.

Candace was funny and warm and humble. She seemed to have a great capacity to care about others, but more than anything in the world, she loved her family. She was so talented, but she would much rather showcase other people's talents than her own.

Candace died of breast cancer after battling that disease for many years with everything she had. This is a photo I accidently caught of Stephen, Candace's husband, looking at the mini-altar made in her honor. Even after five years, Stephen misses the love of his life.
