WORDS FOR TSOR On Feb 11, 2016 our Tsor, was lifted up into the heavens. It was a beautiful day.There was sun and rain, wind and calmness, gray clouds and blue skies. Beside Tsor was her husband Sean and family, wishing so much to be able to keep her here but surrounding her with love for her transformation and next journey. Tsor’s name is made of 4 letters and these letters each make some words that speak of the person we all loved and respected.
