She was full of grace, love, and compassion.
Her smile warmed our hearts.
Her friendship was one of the best gifts in our lives.
Tree Monkey remembers our visits and how sweet Sister Steele was to her. She love to hug her. She remembers getting cookies and candies from sister Steele at her visits. Just like a grandma's house.
I mostly remember that I always left her presence more uplifted than when I arrived.
Until later, dear friend.
And to echo the sentiments of my Aunt Judy, who also knows this wonderful lady and whom I owe thanks to for letting me know of her passing, "congratulations dear woman. You are now at peace and in a perfect state of rest."
