Gone way too soon...

Had a visit this afternoon...bearing bad news.  Dona Lu's daughter Renee stopped by to tell me her mother passed away.  Dona Lu seemed to be in perfect health but was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer early this year and was gone within 4 months.  I met Dona Lu and her mother 3 1/2 years ago when they came out to look at the tract of land she ended up buying SW of TFL. http://thefieldlab.blogspot.com/2010/01/end-of-winter.html  It was always a joy to see her when she would stop by to visit on her trips to work on her property.  Her last trip was around Christmas...she came out with her horses and dogs to contemplate her future.  She was set to retire in 2 years.  RIP my friend.
