I ad many friends here, many who I also met at Patty concerts. I still remember uite a few of you. I sadly have to tell those that did know me that my aughter, Arielle, only 25 yrs old and so beautiful to me, passed on nexpectedly Mar 21. I know that Don remembers her from our Cayamo cruise. Steve et her at Strawberry. Elaine, my good Boston friend also knew her in those ears. Even Patty met her in 1997 at the Eli Whitney Barn concert. She went hru the receiving line twice and she always reminisced that Patty remembered er name. I guess Ari was about 11 then. I had brought 4 of my my 5 kids to that mall venue in our town of Hamden, Ct and we sat right in the 2nd row maybe 8 t away from Patty with Jayne's white Maltese dog who got scared and barked very time we clapped after a song. That was only the 2nd concert I had seen atty in, the first being that March when she opened for Shawn Colvin at Smith ollege. Arielle was there as well with me. She was my little concert buddy. She lso saw Patty at least twice at Strawberry Music Festival, again right up in bout the 2 nd row. I remember us sitting with a policewoman from La who was so nthusiastic yelling for Patty after every song. We wanted Patty to know that er folks were there! We always had M & M packs for the stage in those days. I m really thankful for these memories. Give your kids, even your grown ones a ug today. At the funeral, I had them play Patty's hauntingly beautiful song, he Long Stairs, as Arielle's father had also passed on last Sept and she never ot over it. I felt like she was going from me to him. s for Larry's important post, again you must make amends while people are here. oo late to fix anything after they are gone and they can be gone so suddenly. ou were just a kid Larry and it is understandable how you reacted that way due o concern about what the other rotten kids would say but it is awesome that you ere able to make amends to your old teacher, like in Forgiveness. We all need a ittle. ana in Gilroy now, still loves Patty's music too! ent from my iPhone ------------------------------ End of mad-mission-digest V15 #5 ********************************
