![]() ![]() She LOVED it! She didn’t have a perfect body type to be a ballerina, but dreamed of a career on the stage. Her ability to dance was noted early by her family in Toledo, OH and she began taking ballet lessons at the Beatrice Gardner Dance Studio at the age of 7. I hung onto that thought, rejoicing in all the good things that came to pass from my mother’s devotion to the arts, which I learned from her and I wove those into her eulogy, delivered on what would have been her 97th birthday in 2010. As a close friend, also with a depressed mother, said to me when I called to tell her of my mother’s passing, “Well Betsy, if your mother hadn’t loved the arts, we wouldn’t have met”. I inherited that and my love of the arts from her. My mother always had a wonderful sense of rhythm and a great ability to move her body to the beat of the music. ![]()
