Your mother was pure joy! We loved exchanging Michael Connelly's novels and tales from the trenches in PR and development--she was one of the very early women in PR. She was bright, insightful, vigorous and inclusive.
She could not have been nicer to me, and we loved laughing together over human foibles (not our own of course!).
She was so very proud of you and grateful for the loving attention, care and respect you gave her.
