There are a great deal of risks to those that are homeless. So many face the harsh conditions of living outdoors and succomb to dangers of all kinds. This morning we learned that a dear friend of ours passed away due to pneumonia. Her passing went quickly and was a tremendous surprise to so many of her family, friends and community here in Ballard.
We remember her today as a sweet and gentle spirit. She was a consistent support and friend to so many here. She passionately loved the people around her and sought to be a place of refuge. I know she will be greatly missed. I am personally grateful to have known her for the past 8 years and will miss being met by her welcoming smile. The dream catcher above was a gift to us from Margie. You are loved and remembered, Margie.
