A day to remember this lovely friend who was the most elegant,glamorous,kind,loving mother to two beautiful girls.
She was called upward five years ago today to help coordinate the angels most likely…………
She knew so much about grace and beauty………….
She loved her girls and would bath them in wisteria plumes………..
She walked like a dancer and had a beautiful way about her………..
She was a dear dear friend of mine.
I was the lucky soul who met her in an antique store………
She taught me so many beautiful things that are hard to put into words………..
Her favorite word was DIVINE.
She told me my word was STUNNING!
She loved the garden…….
She loved people…………and GOD knows how many people LOVED HER!
I think I can speak for all her family and dear dear friends………….YOU ARE MISSED BALLERINA.
Not a day goes by that I do not hear you or think of you.
XOXO.

Wow, she is divine and stunning. A classical beauty in the ballet photos and yet with so much modern joy. A wonderful tribute to a dear friend.

Oh, I do not know her, but I know she had to be quite a lovely human being with wings on her feet and in her heart. It is painful to lose such a soul…

Elizabeth, I always wondered about the beautiful dancer on your header. So that was her? What a beautiful person she sounds like. I am so sorry you lost such a kindred spirit. I love these images of her. She was right about your home. I think it’s rare to come across another who so connects with us and sees the world as we do. Also, sad to lose someone who embraced the beauty all around us. Thinking of you Elizabeth.
xxoo Kim

Beautiful tribute Bella. P
Glamour Drops says
Oh – she is the swan!! Now I see we were on some bizarre same wavelength yesterday…despite the oceans between us we were obviously thinking along the same lines of a swan’s beauty and grace, and how we can learn so much from that.
What a beautiful, heartfelt tribute to a divine woman.

She was truly stunning. You wrote a wonderful tribute. I am sure she is dancing with the angels now.

The beauty and love in that tribute matches that of Catherine. Your words make her dance also for many who never knew her. . . until now. Brava
