I am grateful to have known her. Vivian, my Gemini sister, my confidant during the long sultry summer of 68 in Wheeler s Canyon when I was pregnant with Psyche. Always thoughtful, always bemused and philosophical, always balanced, always a true friend. I miss you. But we re gonna meet again.
Real friendship lives forever.
Take that to the bank. I'll always be grateful for her being there for Lou in many ways, and especially by his side during his final moments planetside. By some cosmic coincidence, when Vivian entered the hospice program in San Francisco, their usual accommodations were not available. Instead she was given a room in the hospital that overlooked the Scott Street block where Lou had lived for some years. A few days later she was gone.
