Yes, Joy! Like the rest of us, Lizz found her bliss at Winedale. She brought her own flavor to that setting, and she took Winedale with her--far and wide--to everyone she met and everywhere she went. We're so lucky to have had her among us.
Alice's image reminds me of this from The Little Prince, which also puts me in mind of Lizz today:
"In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night . . . And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows) you will be content that you have known me. You will always be my friend. You will want to laugh with me."
Missing you all, Susan

Great imagery, Dear Alice! Tis a great sadness to lose such a bright spirit though I believe there are atoms of each of us there in the barn. I'll imagine her strutting across the grounds in her boots, shorts, pigtails and cowboy hat.. that mischievous smile, her gleeful laughter, joy of life...and those great hugs. Love to you All, Joy

However one defines spirit, Lizz's will always be there. I'm imagining a bright star over the barn on a dark summer night.

Dear All,
Sorry--I forgot to clarify, but please note that the plans to scatter ashes may change altogether. I say this because it's probably best not to share that information. There are certainly quite official regulations involved, but also I'm told the family hasn't made any decisions! What Clayton reported I think did originate with Allison, Lizz's sister, but it's not a set plan.
