Thank you for including an obituary about my mother, Vivian Schatz, in the August issue of The Shuttle. (“In Memoriam: Vivian Schatz, Pillar of the Co-op, 1925-2020.”) Vivian was a founding member and was very active and influential in many aspects of the Co-op.

As I cared for my mother in the last years of her life, I was struck by the deep sense of peace and grace she lived with and shared. My mother worked for peace her whole life, and she achieved it. I treasure this deeply in my heart.
