| Rio, On the morning you passed
I was outside early in the morning taking photographs of the
strange golden mists in my backyard. I felt sure that there were
light orbs around but it wasn't until later that I saw the pale
pinkish glows in the photographs. I came in the house and
without thinking took your photo off my altar where it had been
for several weeks. I thought to myself, "We won't be needing
this now." and stashed it in a box. None of this made any sense
at the time, nor did I stop to think about it until I got
Beloved's email saying you were gone. Thanks for all the fun
times we had working together on creative projects. Thank you
for all that you taught me. You will never be forgotten from our
hearts. Judith |
| Rio, Thank you for all that
you taught me. Thank you for your unconditional love. I feel
your presence. You will always be in my heart. Pam |
| Rio, my beloved friend.... I
didn't know you as long as some but I loved you from the moment
I met you and I felt your love returned to me. I mourn the
physical loss of my friend, I mourn the opportunity to be in
your physical presence of light, and I simultaneously celebrate
your release into the freedom of greater service and expansion
into your soul's purpose. Please stay close to Dan as he makes
his way through the physical experience of your transition, and
into the light on the other side. I love you. Anne |
| Rio,Teresha, Goddess Sister of
my Heart, Spiritual Mother, Friend and Love, I feel you still
and celebrate you always. I share how I live and sing and dance
with you and know you are still teaching and guiding and lifting
all of us who connect with you through thoughts, prayer and
intent. Thank you for the gift of you in our lives. Thank you
for your loving presence and devotion to our spiritual awakening
and evolution. May we always remember, bless and honor you for
the part of the road we traveled together and how it served our
paths individually and collectively. May you know eternal joy,
May you know eternal peace, As the ocean of bliss. All my love,
Beloved |
| I heard the old 80’s song
today, “Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand…” and it
brought a smile to my face as I thought about you, Rio- it made
me think of your “fashion-plate” picture from the 80’s that I
saw at your parents’ house recently. Rio, I felt totally
accepted by you when I met you at my first LaHo-Chi training in
August, 2005. I am so honored to have learned from you not only
the beautiful healing way called LaHo-Chi, but you were also a
wonderful example of an advanced healer and teacher who never
treated anyone as if they were less than her. I will never
forget you and will always love you. While I will sorely miss
your physical presence here on Earth with us, I am finding
comfort knowing that I have an amazing ally in the Spirit world;
and it makes me happy to know our journey together has not
ended. Thank you, Rio! Love, Susie |
| Dear Rio, In the golden
sunrise glowing above our waterfall I think of you - your warm
light that encompasses all. The birds sing out loud and I think
of you - a voice to be heard 'round the world, speaking of
healing love and goodness. Fresh flowers popping up in spring
and I think of you - the blooming colors on your deck during
LaHo-Chi training breaks. A sarong over my shoulders and I think
of you - the passionate dancing frenzies we shared at the close
of LaHo-Chi trainings. An orb appears in a photo and I think of
you - the first one I ever saw at your house and the thousands
in your Egypt photos. And still I discover thoughts and memories
of you at the oddest times and in the funniest other spaces of
my days. You are a most beautiful being that I only got to share
of glimpse of life with ... missed traveling with you to Italy,
Egypt and more. Missing you still and knowing we are always
connected, anyway. Congratulations on your return to the Stream
of Source. It is with deep love that I say farewell. Your sister
in peace, donna @ halo. |
| Dearest Rio, It's with a heavy
"human" heart that I write this because I missed out on several
opportunities to meet you, learn from you and just be with you.
I know from several of my close friends that having you in their
lives is a great honor, and I only wish I could be counted among
those who had that blessing. I thank you for all you have done
to encourage and enlighten so many people and am grateful to
know you through a few of those wonderful souls. Congratulations
and blessings to you now and always. DT |
| RIO RAINBOW~~~~When I close my
eyes I can hear your laughter, see your beautiful smile, feel
your loving and comforting embrace. I feel your presence inside
of me and I know the mark you left in heart will always be
there. The unconditional love you showed me and all who knew you
was unbounding and beautiful. I loved your sense of humor, it
was totally unique, "little miss echo". I feel so blessed to
have had the opportunity to have your presence in my life. I
loved getting the long and silly phone messages from you and Dan
and hearing you sing my name into the phone
Heeeeeeiiiiidiiiiiii!!! You brought so much love and laughter
into my heart. And I feel you will continue to bless us all with
your Divine Beauty and Light. A Rainbow to the World. Rio
Rainbow I love you!!! Love Always, Heidi |
| Dearest Rio, Knowing the
universe needs your amazing gifts in all places at once more
directly than was possible when so much of your focus was here
with us in physical form is what makes your expansion further
into light easier to accept. A thousand thank you's for all I
have learned and continue to learn through your teachings and
example. JeAnne |
| Dearest Rio, The words that
come foremost to my mind when I think of you are gratitude,
laughter and love!! You held a higher vision for me than I could
see for myself...and then you lifted me there!! As a friend,
your loyalty and support were steadfast. As a teacher, your
gentle guidance facilitated spiritual understanding in ways I
could never have imagined. As a healer, your Light was always
shining in so many dimensions. So it is now that you have only
temporarily stepped out of our sight. I can still feel your
presence, especially when I am laughing and joyful. I know you
are assisting me and hundreds of others, as we continue our
light- playing here on Earth! You always were a brilliant multi-tasker!
Guess you've taken it to a whole new level! With immense love
and admiration, Diane |
| Dearest Rio, I just heard from
Renee about your recent passing...I feel very sad but so
grateful for having had you in my life. You helped lift me up at
such a difficult time so I want to say thank you for all you
gave me. I love and bless you on your continued spiritual
journey. Namaste sister! Dyann |
| Dearest Rio, I do not even
have the words to express all the gratitude for all the things
You and Dan assisted bringing into my life as teachers and as
friends. The greatest of those gifts and the greatest of my
gratitude extends from being asked to help take care of you in
your days of transition. You and Dan have absolutely no idea the
grace and honor I feel you have bestowed upon me. In being a
Hospice nurse I have never experience the depth, beauty and love
of any experience to the extent I experienced it with you and
all of those whom you drew into your circle of light as you
changed form to continue your work. So many of us know you are
with us and that you are continuing to assist us. I feel the
blessings of that which you are and have been my dear sister. My
Love Always, Annie |
| My dear sister and Goddess
Rio, I miss you daily and wonder how in the world we will get on
without you, sweet funny goddess wildwoman. I know your spirit
was absolutely ready to transcend and I salute you and all that
you lived for. I have been so touched by your life and love,
Rio. Please send messages from beyond, as you see fit. We honor
your life, Rio. Patti |
| Rio, You were on my mind and
heart during the fall and spring of this year. I thought of you
everyday and prayed for Dan and your happiness and peace. I am
sadden by your passing. Yet, I know that you are dancing with us
everyday :] You blessed me and taught me so many pieces I carry
with me everyday in my journey here. Thank you for your love,
friendship, and support. I thank you for all that I learned in
your presence and working with you in your home. I know you were
with me recently for a brief time, thank you for that gift. I
will always remember your fun filled spirit that you shared so
willingly. I have been blessed by you. Namaste. Molly Nelms |
| Rio, I first met you at an
Angel Light Healing at UTC. It was my first time channeling
healing energy. The experience was so powerful. During your time
here on earth, you have been a great light and your light
continues to shine here in this plane and on other planes. Thank
you for sharing your light with us. I know that every time
someone is doing LaHo Chi, your energy is there. Blessing and
Love, Deborah |
| Beautiful Rio, I just learn
about your passing. Great sadness has entered my heart. We met
some years ago in your home. We didn’t spend weeks or months
together, but we spent enough time together for me to recognize
a True Master! I feel you near, honor your life, and the light
you illuminated around this world. And now you are doing the
same just from a different place. Loving you, Heli |
| April 1 Rio, your love lights
the way for our hands to reach out and heal. In mystery, in
public, and in secret (humbly and not seeking recognition) yours
love tells my hands to send forth a blessing to each and every
being and creature. Please don't hold back on your blessings if
you know Rio, and let them flow, a little here, a little there,
a little everywhere. In the bank, in the post office, in the
doctors office, in the supermarket. Love, David Hoff
