I have loved her since I was a baby. I am contrite on learning four years later (!) of her death. Has it been that long since our last letters and phone calls? Thank you to Joel and Barbara, Michell and Mark and others in her close personal network. You saw the gold in her and kept it polished. What you said in the obit was spot-on. She was one of the most interesting persons I ever knew, and I was proud to be her cousin.
