May she have eternal rest;

May light perpetual shine upon her. +

What sad news, she was a really special person, I remember her well. I can picture her dancing the gypsy girl in Le deux Pigeons, wearing that black costume covered with gold symbols.

She had a wonderful sense of humour, and kept us in fits of laughter. May she rest in peace. Condolences to her family.

Thank you for posting. The pictures brought tears to my eyes. Such fond memories.

From the program, it looks as if this was a lovely tribute. How nice that she was remembered and honored in such a loving manner.
