Oh, Ben. How awful and incredibly sad! Your tribute brought back fond memories of those days in Howell Hall. Dulcie was indeed a very special person, full of life and grace. Hugs to you!! (As an aside, I carried the keychain you brought me from OU for many years. It was a nice reminder of my home state.)

Kate, you are too kind--she was so easy to recall, even under sad circumstances.

What a lovely and moving tribute, Ben. I’m so sorry for the loss of your dear friend.

That was incredibly touching. Thank you. I've learned from listening to James Golden to understand that individuals passing from this life are simply having their second BIRTH day -- when they are/he, she or it is -- born back into heaven. (James Golden is now part of WABC 77 Talk Radio doing two shows, each of which contains contemporary reports of individuals' -- most often musicians' -- birthdays. He was for 30 or so years Rush Limbaugh's right hand person, and up to almost the end known as Bo Snerdley. Personally I think his (Golden's) middle name should be Radio but personally I think of him as James, Golden. He, too, is walking the dark path now becoming more familiar to us all.)
