I met Fiona shortly after Thorbjorn had passed. I remember the 'Stead being a place of wonder, and most especially Fiona's keen sense about people. She was generous and gifted me a pair of old fencing boots that belonged to her late husband. 25 years later, I remain a fencer in the SCA, and may not have ever picked up a sword if it wasn't for those boots. Rest well and in peace, Fiona. I will always be grateful for your kindness.

Fiona was my friend. I met her in my shop and she spent many an hour visiting, chatting, teaching me about life and being Fiona. I loved her dearly and will miss knowing she’s in the world. I wish there was more time, but I cherish the times we spent. Thank you Fiona for being who you are.

WOW! What to say about Betty. She was no "cookie-cutter" lady. She was her own person in every way, and if you accepted her that was great, but if you didn't, that was fine, too. She was my (step) mother-in-law, and she was encouraging, kind, intelligent, and special in an indescribable way. I did not spend a lot of time with Betty, nevertheless, she enriched my life.
