Goodbye Dear Friend

"... Kord died last night, after his severe illness of two years. He was surrounded by his family, in candlelight with Mozart playing, as he drew his last breath. All in keeping with who he was." ~ Ursula

This big gentle bear of a man delivered mighty hugs of love...all engulfing, all kindness, and greatly sought after. I will deeply miss Kord's gentle strength, his deeply probing mind, and his far-reaching curiosity. He was a man who loved his family above all else, and who welcomed friends into his family with a rare generosity. I am lucky and grateful to have know this fine man.

Our Larch-wonderful journey continues as we travel the furthest north-west road in Montana. Kord and these beautiful, peaceful scenes will forever be tangled together in my mind. Rest in Peace dear Kord.
