Longview

Recently Cheryl and I traveled to Bellingham with the boys to say our final goodbyes to, and remember the life of, her Grandmother Lucile Longview, seen here in the center.

I first met her days before this photo was taken. The woman I met was amazing. Her knowledge of the world, history, and politics was intimidating. Here life was filled with passion and action and I learned a lot from her example. She held strong opinions and beliefs and backed them up with her life. This is evident in her three children and two granddaughters. Her legacy is one of love for all others and love for nature and I am told she took the name "Longview" as a testament to her view on life. She passed peacefully with here family around. I am honored to be an adopted part of her family. She will be missed and I am glad that my boys were able to know their "GGLu".

Joy, Joy, Joy!!
