What a beautiful tribute to a lovely and one-of-a-kind woman. I will never forget the first dance she taught me (poor Hera had to play the boy role) -- learning grace under pressure, not to mention how to shrug off stage-fright. These are attributes that serve me everyday even now. I will never forget long weekend days of counting and jumping -- left and right -- spinning and hearing "HANA DOOL SET -- SIT DOWN!" while building confidence and some of the best friendships I will ever know. And I will not forget the sense that, as we grew older and you were on the eve of becoming a married woman yourself, your mom, the leader and teacher, was transforming into a friend. I will always keep her close to my heart. Thanks for reminding me to remember. Love, Lisa
