Ty's Take
Carol Ann Knapp Foreman's passing hits different when you've watched this valley change the way it has over the last couple decades—she was the kind of person who actually stayed, who put down roots deep enough that they mattered. Meanwhile, out in the community somewhere, two sisters are doing what sisters do, making something with their hands that brings people a little joy, and that's the work that holds a place together when everything else is shifting. Both stories belong in the same column because they're both about showing up: one woman who showed up for decades, two women showing up now with whatever gifts they've got. That's what keeps Las Cruces from just becoming another sprawl of subdivisions eating into what used to be pecan orchards.
