Friends,
The memorial for Kosta Becker was inspiring, sad and healing for all.
He was greatly loved and appreciated. We will miss him, but will enjoy our
reunion soon.

Dear Tom,
Thanks so much for the picture of Kosta's memorial. I'm so glad you all got
to go to it. I've been meaning to share some thoughts in his memory. This
feels like the right moment.
Kosta had a certain joie de vie that I found to be absolutely infectious. I
thoroughly enjoyed every moment I ever spent in his company. The joy in his
heart sparkled in his eyes. From what I could see, he made everyone feel
special.
The world needs more people like him, which is likely why it hurts so badly
when we lose someone like him. Even though I know we are all going where he
has gone, I'm going to miss seeing him here and I very much look forward to
seeing him again.
Katharina told me that their friends and neighbors in New Mexico liked to
call him the "light of the valley." What a beautiful way to be honored and
remembered.
I wish Godspeed to Kosta! I feel blessed to have gotten to know him.
Love....Paula
