“When for a while we part… we shall still be joined in heart… to meet again!”
Rest in peace, dear sister Jennifer! A real pity that time did not allow us to complete the brave new approach we had commenced!
“Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts…
When we asunder part,
It gives us inward pain;
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again!”
