We bury my grandmother today, here in Vancouver.
She was a rocket. Tough, smart, with this devil laugh and grin, and a raucous sense of humor. We’ve been spending all morning going through old photographs — and fortunately for us, there are a lot. This was a woman who lived. And that smile…
NiNi, we miss you.
A pyrokinetic and former car thief, Eddie cannot refuse an assignment to cross the continent in order to rescue an extraordinary woman in peril…even though he fears losing control of the destructive power of flame at his fingertips.
The last of her shape-shifting kind, Lyssa hides in the abandoned tunnels beneath Manhattan. Like Eddie, fire is her weapon, her destiny…and her curse. For beneath Lyssa’s extraordinary beauty are dangerous secrets…and even darker, nearly irresistible urges... (November 2011)
When the bond Maxine Kiss shares with Zee and the boys-the demons tattooed on her skin-is deliberately severed, the hunter is left vulnerable and unprotected. For the first time in ten thousand years, the boys have a taste of freedom-without Maxine’s guiding influence.
As they grow more violent and unpredictable, Maxine starts to fear the little demons will lose their minds without their attachment to her. But reuniting won’t be easy, as a great temptation waits for her little demons : a chance to return to their lives….and unleash hell on earth. (December 2011)
Marjorie, I’m so sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful woman and I love her smile!
She’s a beautiful and extraordinary lady with a beautiful and extraordinary family.
To Mr. Liu: Though you say farewell to your mother today, don’t forget that your birthday was one of the happiest days of her life!
All the best for the Lius at this time.
Sorry for your loss. Your grandmother was an amazing woman and lived a full life.
Very sorry for your loss. Wonderful photo’s of a beautiful lady, her smile makes you smile too.
Praying for you and your family today. A grandmother is always such a special part of our lives.
I’m so glad you have all those photos. Thanks for sharing them with us. I bet your grandmother had a really infectious laugh. Such a bright smile, straight from the heart. Hugs and much love to you and your family Marjorie.
I am so, so sorry for your loss. I love the photos that you’ve shared.
I lost my own grandmother last October, and I miss her so much every day. One of the things that’s kept me going is an album of photos that her friends put together for me, with pictures of her from different stages of her life and an airmail letter she sent to her family during her 1950s trip to England. Pictures and letters are never enough to make up for that loss, but they really do help.
I’m sorry for your loss. Remember, though: “It can’t rain all the time”.
Marjorie, I am very sorry for your loss. Today is my grandma’s one year anniversary of passing away… being my best friend, I know just how much it can hurt to miss a grandmother. I pray that you find some peace and joy in the coming days and weeks. Your grandma was a very beautiful woman.
its a long batiful life
Marjorie, I’m so sorry for your loss. She sounds like an amazing woman. Be kind to yourself in the coming days. No matter how long the life or how peaceful the passing, loss always takes its toll.
Thinking of you and your family.
It’s a beautiful smile.
I’m very sorry for your loss. Lovely photos of your grandma!
My condolence to you, Marjorie. I also lost mine earlier April. Take care and happy writing…
