I met Ms. Warburg in June 2005, when I visited with her in her home. At the time I was with one of her cousins who is a friend of mine. Immediately, I was struck by Ms. Warburg's strong presence, especially the intensity of her eyes. I enjoyed every moment of that visit. On December 14th, I thought about Ms. Warburg and wondered how she was doing. A few days later, my friend told me that Anita, as she called her, had died.
