This is just a partial showing, of course. Though I MEANT to document every single moment of her time here, occasionally I had to put the camera down and just enjoy her company!

This is Mary, on a glorious day in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where she took us (along with Dad and my brother Christopher) for lunch at the most incredible restaurant by the sea:

Then there was a breakfast with Moy at a charming little cafe in Wellesley, where we had waffles and pancakes and the most gorgeous fruit we’d ever seen . . .

Mary’s husband Tom (with Misty on his lap) and Paula were like long-lost friends, though they had only met once before.

And Paula and Cathleen, really ARE long-lost friends –

In Dehradun, Paula was a part of our family and helped our children grow up to be the wonderful people they are. Paula was like an aunt to Cathleen and a profound influence on her life.
