Another long-time friend passed away earlier this evening. For some of our mutual friends this will be at least their fourth service in three months - without looking back to last year.

I'm currently in another time zone, it's late here and I'm too exhausted after a broken night and a long day to hold up my end of any conversation stemming from reaching out to check on how anyone is doing, but there are a lot of people I am thinking of tonight

#RIP Belle.
