(Community Matters) A life long dear friend, Mark Gibbs (a best friend gowing up) died in a scuba diving accident over the weekend. I can’t really remember meeting Mark. The son of my parents’ close friends while we were growing up and someone who moved to my elementary school, we hadn’t talked in person for a couple of years but had been in touch over Facebook. Devastating. So much history and such a great guy. Spoke with Mark’s mom last night. His dad and brother are in Costa Mesa making arrangements. I’m flying out tomorrow for the funeral – 10:00am Saturday at Rock Harbor Church located at 345 Fischer Ave. Costa Mesa. There will be a memorial service in Houston on 5/11 at 3pm at Langwood Baptist Church.

Love big West Texas skies, the unimpeded horizons of the coasts, Austin and my husband, the Rev. Dr. Steven Robert Tomlinson, with whom I’ve spent the last 24 years – nineteen years since we were married on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada. Then, married again at St. James Episcopal Church in Austin, TX on June 27, 2015.
