(205,074 posts)3. Thanks, my friend, this is such a painful hit, especially right now.
This is the only issue being discussed tonight on the news - and here on DU, of course. She really did her best, always - and made a historic difference.
And what a thoughtful thing to do! And you're right, we all need to learn more than we do - she's someone who all of us can look up to, an unusual phenomenon, these days...
