I watched Mary Kellogg listen as the other poets read their poems at the Open House,at 85,  she is forever radiant, brave,  beautiful, gracious and hopeful. She inspired me to say a Mary Kellogg prayer to myself.  I pray that I can live the rest of my years as fully and meaningfully as Mary lives every day of her life. I do not know how many more poems Mary has to write, or if she wishes to write any. I am grateful for every minute that I have known her. She is family to me, to Maria.
