The world has lost a fine woman, loving mother, grandmother, and great grandmother; full of wisdom, intelligence, and energy. I immensely appreciate all that she has done to change the world for the better -- both in wartime and peacetime.

Good-bye for now and a billion trillion googol thank-yous, one of my two favorite...

Our hearts go out to all of you ... Aunt "Tish" was loved greatly by my father, her twin brother Paul. Though she lived far away when I was small, her arrival to visit was always a wonderful event.

You family is in my thoughts and prayers.
