We are thrilled to have been a part of the creative economy and have such a long-standing business. Part of that business is about being friends and working well together. As artists, we tend to have very independent approaches to what we want, how we want it and with what means we intend to achieve this goal.

Her family wrote such a lovely piece in the Journal and they used one of my favorite photos of our Dee. She is smiling... like Dee can smile. You can read it here. and her son Michael wrote to me that he prefers to celebrate her life rather than mourn her in death. That is probably a very good choice as she has had a very full life with so many stories, you wouldn't believe!!!
I wanted everyone to know that she has passed on, and we miss her and she will always be a huge part of Fiber Company.
And as Dee was fond of reminding me-- FISH DO
