I'm seeing FaceBook postings telling of Isabel Boyd's passing. She and her brother, Paul, were "regular" visitors at California conventions in my younger years, as they made their "home visits" from Korea. Isabel stands out to me as the epitome of kindness and compassion - she has always had that spirit, but it did really stand out to me when she visited Hawaii convention in 2007 or 08 - visibly aged and somewhat stooped, she approached me (having not seen me since my days in the work) and very warmly, kindly, and sincerely greeted me and my wife, letting us know she had been looking forward to seeing us. This was in the midst of some really "strange" times for us, and there was something genuine, without a hint of reproach, in her countenance, words, and tone. She comes to the forefront of my mind each time I say "There are workers whom I still greatly respect."
