Greetings fellow quote lovers:
Friends, I am writing this issue early Saturday morning
with a heavy heart. One of my dear friends passed away in
her sleep and I just found out about it last night. There
will be no ads or commercial announcements in this tribute
to Laura Hansen.
All of the quotes selected are about death and dying. Not
to be morose, but to celebrate her life. She believed that
our journey was not limited to this life. Laura Hansen was
a devoted friend, foodie, direct marketer and spiritual
student always exploring new facets of her spirituality.
To her friends and family, I say cherish her memory and
may each and every one of you hold on to those special
"Laura Moments". She spent a great deal of time creating
those special moments for others.
To our 20,000+ readers who did not know Laura, I say you
really did know her. If you experienced the kindness of a
stranger...you knew Laura. If a friend ever said a prayer
for you...you knew Laura. If someone ever connected you
to a business acquaintance and wanted nothing for the
connection...you knew Laura. If someone ever thought
better of you than you did of yourself...you knew Laura.
If you ever knew a person whose "grace account" way out-
paced their bank account...you knew Laura. So it is
with profound fondness that this week's quotations are
dedicated to someone we all knew and loved. I am sure
the wealth of her "grace account" of good deeds is enough
for her to live on for eternity.
In fond remembrance,
JA

*---- Quotes For The Week ----*
Human beings are made of body, mind
and spirit. Of these, spirit is primary,
for it connects us to the source of everything,
the eternal field of consciousness.
Each of us is here to discover our true Self...
that essentially we are spiritual beings who have
taken manifestation in physical form...that we're
not human beings that have occasional spiritual
experiences that we're spiritual beings that have
occasional human experiences.
--Deepak Chopra

Ancient Egyptians believed that upon death
they would be asked two questions
and their answers would determine
whether they could continue their journey in the afterlife.

The second was, "Did you find joy?"

He who has gone,
so we but cherish his memory, abides with us,
