She was a tireless St. Johns organizer, coordi- nating or volunteer- ing for many local events, and had a wide and complex circle of friends in town. Rie was an el- egant picture every day, and nearly always wore one of her collection of stylish wide-brimmed hats. She was known for greeting everyone she knew with, “Hello, Beautiful!” Rie’s memorial service was held on July 25 at the James John Café. The room was overfl owing with people, many of them wearing wide- brimmed hats, and a crowd of people who couldn’t get in the door gathered on the sidewalk outside. Wesley Anne Cook, owner of local business In Among the Pigeons and a close friend of Rie’s, said, “Rie touched folks in rare and lov- ing ways, not only in her healing work at the Body Bistro but also on the streets and byways of St. Johns. Her smile and laughter were infectious, hearty, and well meant. No one could resist her greetings. She leaves a great emptiness for all who knew her.” B U S I N E S S C A R D ADS http://www.kenleachroofi ng.com 503-504-7109 B USINESS C ARD P RICING : 1 Year (26 issues) $22 each = $572; 9 Months (19 issues) $23 each = $437 6 Months (12 issues) $25 each = $300; 3 Months (6 issues) $28 each = $168.
