"From Baja to Alaska, you loved and laughed alongside friends and family with all that you had. Some of our most treasured memories are of gathering in Chinook, WA and enjoying fresh caught salmon and crab. We recall canning sweet peaches and pears and settling in with the coziest blankets made with love from your own hand. We loved you for your strength, your laughter, and your no-nonsense attitude. Say hi to Drummer for us, your closest friend and greatest love of 64 years, and save us a good spot until we can all be together again."
