When Sir Walter Scott died in 1832, a jubilee of dramatic performances based on his works were performed in Abbotsford and Dryburgh Abbey to celebrate his life and works. His influence is still present in the literature and culture of Scotland to this day.
In the recent past, many have passed away who have been a significant influence in our lives. My own ballet teacher- Richard Ellis, my ballet mentor and friend-Alexander Bennet and my close friend and company pianist-Wayne Simpson have left a void in my life. While dancing at the Hendricks Avenue Baptist Church on the longest night of the year to comfort those who are grieving lost ones, I found a way to celebrate the lives of those who made my life worth living more fully while offering a spirit of praise and jubilation to those present.
May you all be uplifted with tidings of comfort and joy in this season of celebration.

What an absolutely lovely tribute to those who enriched your life so that you could pass it on. And so it continues. Perhaps the young ladies you danced with will look back on that night in a similar manner far in the future.
