Sad news to greet us when we returned from a week away. Our oldest friend in Ontario is gone home. To the Kallio family think of this old saying and celebrate what she taught and all the love she gave.
“We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love… and then we return home.” – Australian Aboriginal saying
We will miss her and keep her in our hearts.
