Farewell Therese

Marathon, FL

Day after day I write in this blog about how wonderful life is for we cruisers. It is easy to forget that our friends and family are meanwhile living ordinary lives with all the ups and downs.

Yesterday I received a sad call from Walt. Walt is a very long time and very dear friend. Walt's wife Therese has been battling cancer for the past two months. Walt called to tell me that Therese passed away last Saturday. Walt, you have our deepest sympathies.

Libby and I met Therese only once. That was a day when Walt and Therese met us in Southport, NC. The four of us went for a day sail out the Cape Fear Inlet. Even in that one short day, Therese made a powerful and lasting impression. She'll be much missed.
