I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Ramona's passing. We worked in the same office space at LSU for several years and she brought so much light to my daily life. She was so tall and graceful that I always told her she reminded me of a ballerina. And I loved talking about fashion with her and deciding who was the best and worst dressed after the Met Gala or Oscars. Or talking about how much we couldn't wait for Hamilton to come to New Orleans. The world is certainly a better place for her having been in it, and I send prayers for peace and comfort to her family.
