Remembering Ria

On July 31, 2012, my beloved cousin Mariati Tani Lethem  ( Ria )  passed away on a rafting incident on Tuolamne River 

I  A Time for Everything
      1There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven—
2A time to give birth and a time to die;
         A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted.
3A time to kill and a time to heal;
         A time to tear down and a time to build up.
4A time to weep and a time to laugh;
         A time to mourn and a time to dance.
5A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones;
         A time to embrace and a time to shun embracing.
6A time to search and a time to give up as lost;
         A time to keep and a time to throw away.
7A time to tear apart and a time to sew together;
         A time to be silent and a time to speak.
8A time to love and a time to hate;
         A time for war and a time for peace.
