Tish, what an extraordinary obituary you wrote for your mother, made possible, of course by the extraordinary life she led. I never knew her but am so impressed by her good work and great causes.

My thoughts and best wishes for you. Nancy leSage Hellmuth

Tish. Your brother Jeffery and I were at Northwood together and I got to know your mom and the Ambassador when I served as director of arts & productions at the Cathedral Church of St John the Divine in New York. She was a very special lady, so kind and intelligent, and with such great energy. My prayers with you and your family.
