The Style Crone spent the day with a friend of 36 years who now lives in NYC. Adored by Nelson, Camille and myself, he provided comfort in the form of laughter, tears and talk of many shared memories over decades. And threw in a photo shoot for a few moments of frivolity. Friendship provides support and love as The SC navigates troubled waters in a lemon colored straw toque on the porch of our home that now feels gigantic without Nelson’s physical presence.

How wonderful, and what a balm to see an old friend, one who really understands, and remembers. As Janine said, it’s one step at a time, one hat at a time, and so you go forward. You have touched so many lives with your blog. What an amazing woman you are.
Much love from England.

Judith,
Your creativity shows through in your outfits which are a reflection of how you live your life. The memorial service for Nelson was beautiful and meaningful. It was wonderful to use the arts as a means of expressing the life of Nelson and what his life meant to those he was close to. It was done with great taste and love. Thank you for sharing all of that with others in a beautiful way.

I discovered your blog the way one finds anything on the Internet-by accident. Lovely photos, and your love for Nelson shines through in your words. I was widowed five and a half years ago. Finding your own way is a process. Blessings. I’ll be back.
