Dear Horia and Family, 

I wanted to add this poem which I came across since writing my message.  I think it’s rather lovely and so appropriate for Brandusa. Hopefully you will take comfort from it:

Something Beautiful Remains

The tide recedes but leaves behind

bright seashells on the sand.

The sun goes down, but gentle

warmth still lingers on the land. 

The music stops, and yet it echoes

on in sweet refrains…

For every joy that passes, 

something beautiful remains.
