Another bit of imagery that seems fitting is an excerpt from the fourth folio version of
Romeo & Juliet, quoted by Bobby Kennedy to describe his older brother JFK:
Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.
I think it's fair to say that Lizz will always be a part of the firmament over
Winedale.

Yes, Joy! Like the rest of us, Lizz found her bliss at Winedale. She brought her own
flavor to that setting, and she took Winedale with her--far and wide--to everyone she met
and everywhere she went. We're so lucky to have had her among us.
Alice's image reminds me of this from The Little Prince, which also puts me in mind of
Lizz today:
"In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it
will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night . . . And
when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows) you will be content that you have
known me. You will always be my friend. You will want to laugh with me."
Missing you all,
Susan

Great imagery, Dear Alice! Tis a great sadness to lose such a bright spirit though I
believe there are atoms of each of us there in the barn. I'll imagine her strutting
across the grounds in her boots, shorts, pigtails and cowboy hat.. that mischievous smile,
her gleeful laughter, joy of life...and those great hugs.
Love to you All,
Joy

However one defines spirit, Lizz's will always be there. I'm imagining a
bright star over the barn on a dark summer night.

Dear All,
Sorry--I forgot to clarify, but please note that the plans to scatter
ashes may change altogether. I say this because it's probably best
not to share that information. There are certainly quite official
regulations involved, but also I'm told the family hasn't made any
decisions! What Clayton reported I think did originate with Allison,
Lizz's sister, but it's not a set plan.
