If you think of a moon beam, or a rainbow, or the twinkling first star of the evening sky, or the magic of phosphorescence...if you think of any of these elemental, natural, beautiful things...you have thought of Lisa. Our beloved Lisa Thompson left us this last Friday for her next journey, beyond this life. She valiantly lived with ovarian cancer, and only let her cancer define her in terms of becoming a champion for its cause. She became a medium for its cure. Her signature trio of glassybaby is named "Marsha's Hope"...it was Lisa's explicit wish that proceeds from this glassybaby set would go to the Marsha Rivkin Ovarian Cancer Research Center. She ran, she blogged, she smiled and she spoke with her indomitable spirit, to give a voice to the important cause of ovarian cancer. And the fact is...she made a difference and will continue to. We can not forget a note, gilded in our minds, a thank you note from Lisa, who proclaimed herself a 'glassybaby angel.' A photograph preceded her incredible words of thanks. There was Lisa in a bright red, Cleopatra wig, wearing angel wings, holding a sign of thanks, her legs crossed over one another, her head tilted, her smile, a mile long.
We are indelibly touched by Lisa and feel her angel wings over us forever.
More Soon, Nicola
