And for just one more time, I will take the northwest passage...
She didn't skate on the edge of disaster, she jumped the damn canyon, and landed on the other side--not without injury, but she got up, she always got up. The Geoffreys war couldn't NOT donate money to a charity related to a disease she had--breast cancer, lymphoma, heart conditions, kidney things--until we made DAMN SURE by picking prostate cancer as the disease. She walked through some jobs, being a massage therapist, an occupational therapist, a psych person, an ergonomics/human factor psych student.
I remember her when Rusty came out for his wedding reception here, scaring us all in the Great Mall, laughing so hard the blood spurted out her nose--great party trick! Shit, it's REAL!
I remember her kind sharp wit at parties.
I remember her in a pub in Oregon, in a dark time.
I remember her laughing at the stories as she ate tidbits at the Afghan restaurant. It was a good night.
She raised two fine people in difficult conditions. She changed, adapted, re-did. She accepted help with grace, and helped when she could, with aplomb.
She inspired a Company of fine skills, and display thereof. To the Company of St. Teresa!
She achieved the Order of the Laurel in the SCA, a sign of the beauty she could make.
Teresa, thanks. See you again sometime.

I know that you helped her out a lot throughout the years and she never forgot that. She very much valued you as a friend. My condolences.
