"Be it as if I were with you..."
"The best of me then when no longer visible--for toward that I have been incessantly preparing."
~ Walt Whitman
Today I walked in Nature,
celebrating the beautiful life of Frances Alice Toepfer, May 8, 1922 - December 6, 2014.
"I feel so very thankful to have known Frances Toepfer as a wonderful
mentor and friend. My journalism and newspaper staff instructor at
Lincoln from 1979 to 1982, she encouraged and delighted me for years
with occasional heart to heart talks and letters. I visited Fran most
recently last summer, and she was still enjoying her writing, artwork
and reading. She was actively engaged in life and beautifully aware of
her loving spiritual path. I too am a writer, and she inspired me to
think expansively from the very first day I walked into her class, not
only in my writing, but in life itself. She is even with me now,
reminding me to write succinctly (and yes, I sense she is inviting us to
smile, as all of "her writers" remember...). I express my heartfelt
condolences."
