John -
This is Susan Ford from Market Facts. I was very saddened to hear about Alicia's passing. Alicia led the way for so many women in research and I wouldn't have had the career I had without her mentorship and friendship. We shared lots of laughs, stories about crazy research projects and general appreciation of family and the great colleagues we got to know at Market Facts. I'm sorry I could not share memories of Alicia with you in person.
Regards,
Susan
