I was so fortunate to have met Alice in New York City in 1977 (78?) and, for many years, she patiently taught me and guided me on this remarkable Buddhist path. She was enormously kind and generous - teaching me how to meditate and take care of myself. I learned more than I knew at the time from Alice about love and devotion - I, like so many others, loved her very much. She was wise and her smile and laughter were like medicine and music combined. Her authenticity was contagious and her wisdom unshakeable. With a deep bow to Richard and Noah, I offer my sad heart and cheerful memories. And a gentle farewell to Alice.
