How does one begin to recall 45 years of friendship with such a remarkable woman? I’ve struggled with writing this, not because I can’t think of what to say, but because there is just so much to say. The fun and extraordinary people we met in the French Quarter at Logos Bookstore; her enjoyment of my children, Rachel and Chris; her support of my life changes; her utter love of the grandchildren, Wesley, Stephen and Miles; all the books we have read; and so much more. I have recalled, over the last two weeks, so many times in which she enriched my life…her enthusiasm, her incredible memory, her brilliance, her opinions always made known! Simply put, I miss my dear friend.
