I met with Ms. Gray several times in the late 80s when she was writing an article on HMOs. She was such an interesting woman; I've never forgotten her walking from her home in the West End downtown to the Jefferson Building for these interviews. She recently came to mind just before I saw her obituary. What a great lady!

Your Mother/Grandmother, Ann Gray, sounds like a somebody to me even though I didn't know her. I just happen to see her pic, read about her and decided that she had to have been a very special somebody and I will think of her and you, dear family, when I do my crosswords or bake some bread or have a chocolate milk shake. (smile) God Bless you All and With warm thoughts, Keep smiling Sincerely, Ms Dale McCollum, fellow lover of life in VA and all it has to offer.
