There was a celebration of life service yesterday for a friend who passed away. She was feisty. She was blunt. She lived life with passion. Her upper crust British accent was often spiced with choice words that let you know in no uncertain terms exactly what she thought. But, beneath that crusty exterior, was a heart as big as a mountain.
I feel truly blessed to have seen the vulnerability, the gentleness that was so much a part of her as telling someone off. She was never anything but kind to me.
Somehow the world seems a bit grayer without her.
Rest in peace, Valerie.

The Black River is a journey in faith. It delves into an exploration of life: from the calm, clear waters of the good days, the mundane, to the swirling eddies and deep waters of issues that face every one of us.
