I remember her jest for life and love of music. Like the time she took me, her baby sister, to a Baltimore Symphony concert featuring pianist Jose Iturby playing Chopin's Polanaise. She had maneuvered us down to some empty front seats up close and personal so that when he struck the final chords we jumped up shouting "Bravo, Bravo"! Iturby graciously bowed and acknowledged the obnoxious little girls. Farewell my sister; may life's music follow you forever. Love, Alma
