• Your mother was such a delight to know. I became acquainted with her at the Hemingway-Pfeiffer Writing camp this summer...She just sent me a copy of her stories. I will truly miss her smile, joy, and wonderful sense of humor. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families at this very difficult time. I will forever treasure the book she sent me.
