Re: Jim Cothran, author landscape architect passed away Sunday, Jan 28

Yes, Geri, I certainly will share with Lynn. I am so glad I posted to GWL.
It reached you, a friend who would want to know. We will miss him so very
much. I was at the hospital last week and it was unbelievably swift. I gave
Lynn, the Bach's flower remedy tincture "Star of Bethlehem" in hopes it
will help somehow with this terribly difficult and unexpected loss. Flowers
seem appropriate. We've been very worried about him for 3 weeks wondering
what was wrong...safe journey. xxmp
