ADD QUOTES
- Blythe: It is my responsibility in treading on this Earth, to give back from which I take. To me, this means that I recycle, use the solar energy that is given out free to all of us, and I conserve what energy I do use. If I do my part, I can only hope that someone will follow my lead.

- Blythe: I was blessed. I found the love of my life, and we had the time of our lives. We shared our time filling the air with laughter, love, and happiness. Now I am full of spirit, that is full of Bruce, and I am at peace.

- Blythe: I used to glaze over when my friends would go on about being a grandparent, I'd say 'Oh please don't tell me how incredible it is'. But then here I am, it's really profound. It's just very, very, deep. It's very primal.
