Sadness that we have lost our Sakyong Wangmo, joy that I ever had the good fortune to know and serve her, and warmest condolences to Mitchell, Tagtruk, Gesar, Chandali, Ashoka, and David, as well as the grandchildren - those that knew her and those that never will. One of my fondest memories of Lady Diana is when she presided over the 2000 Magyel Pomra Encampment at Dorje Denma Ling. She was royal, elegant, mischievous, and outrageous. To her, it seemed, we were a large but close-knit family on the vast playground of the warriors. From a surprise haircut for the Sergeant Major to asking people to identify disembodied eyes, tongue and heart, she kept surprising us and having great fun while also holding the seat of the Makkyi Rabjam with great dignity and solemnity and honouring the forms that he had created. The supplication to the Mother Lineage was obviously written for her. Wishing a smooth transition and a joyful reunion for our mother and Queen. With deepest gratitude and love, Sally Walker
