I just watched holiday hotline for at least the 4th time. You were such a talented writer and I was amazed that you had been a part of so many movies that I really loved. Rest in peace your talent will be missed here.

Just watched Holiday Hotline and saw your name honored. What a talented writer. I also loved Hart to Hart. What a loss, you left this world far too soon. Your picture exudes a warm heart, a mischievous twinkle in your eye and even though I didn´t know you there will be a part of my heart that is yours for being such an amazing writer that brought joy to so many. Condolences to your husband and family. I´m sure you are very missed by all whose lives you touched.
