I never met her personally, but I knew her from her work in France, Ghana and indeed at Mount Ecclesia. I recall with fondness and respect when Centers Ghana wanted to print the Como for the first time. As soon as she knew of our plight she quickly sent some money to us that enabled us to produce copies of the Cosmo. She was a true custodian of Max Heindel\u2019s legacy at Mt Ecclesia, fighting to retain what was right for TRF. We shall surely miss this beautiful individual. But who are we to resist what God and the Elder Brothers want?\u00a0 May her dear spirit find true balance in the Desire World and may she look down upon us left behind with love and compassion so that we can continue with the Great and Good Work of the Elder Brothers.
