This was such an amazing Celebration. Thank you to Joan and the rest of the North Carolina Writers for organizing such a beautiful remembrance for Mom. Hearing her poetry read by people I've come to admire for their own amazing works, was a moment in time I'll never forget. Many many thanks ... she would have LOVED it!
