she was an aquatic biologist and had a deep depth of knowledge for ocean life and mother earth. she shared that passion with everyone she knew. she was extremely intelligent and extremely fun and loving and she just shined her light everywhere. she turned me on to yoga and i'm an active yoga instructor now and i will never forget just the feelings and the memories that we've created together in all of our adventures. as they say death is the greatest adventure of all. one of the things that we always shared with each other that travel doesn't become adventure until you leave yourself behind. although she is no longer here, her spirit and her love and her vibrant energy will always be within me and every person that she ever got to be around. >> sandra: very clearly the two of you had a very strong family bond and connection. we're so sorry for your loss and our best to your family.
