Forgive the hiatus
in this blog, but we lost Mary between Thanksgiving and the end of the Mayan
Great Cycle of 26,000 years.
Here’s what the Katie
Klingsporm of the Telluride Daily Planet
wrote in the paper's 2012 Year in Review:
Mary Friedberg, a deeply
spiritual woman and friend to many who lived in Telluride and Norwood for several years, passed away on
Nov. 25 at her Wilson Mesa Home after battling cancer. She was 58. Friedberg,
who was called Mary Faery by loved ones, was a mother and friend who is
remembered as a deeply spiritual woman with a gypsy streak and boundless
generosity.
Art, you are loved and appreciated. Mourning can take a lifetime, though for me it has had stages. Your love for Mary and your unique relationship was a blessing to many. Although I didn't know Mary as well as I know you, I see her smile, her concerned look, but most of all just how she so often broke into a full faced grin. I feel her as I'm sure you do, walking with her loved ones in a different way or dimension. She demonstrated something so unique in this world. I love how you were with her. Your words about her have touched me deeply and I honor your walk and your work. In Love. Jude
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jude. Mary was unique, and you honor us both with your kind words. Bless you...
ReplyDeleteAh! So much love in my heart for you, for Mary, for all your family. And all these years, I have kept treasures of your visit with us (long ago now). In my hallway hang the paper cranes, with the brass bell below, made for me by Mary's hands. I still sometimes smile at the cubbyhole below our desk where your young son would "hide" from us. And there in my kitchen sits the lovely stone-carved Ganesh Mary gave me, sending out blessings to all. Now come the memories of times shared, just Mary and me sometimes, at your own place. ...and Ganesh sends blessing out to all. Om......
