My father was a very social person, and between the two of them, they had a worldwide collection of friends.

She loved Japan because of the beauty, and she loved Italy because of the charm. She wanted to see everything for herself firsthand. She loved Annapolis, but she wanted to see the world.

She had such a zest for life.

I was raised with my mother saying over and over again to me, “If your friends jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge, would you follow them?” One time, I finally answered her, “yes, I would as a matter of fact.” It was then that I realized who my true friends were.

She said because I want to be with my friends.

This comes as a tremendous shock, ... Our heartfelt condolences go out to the family and friends.
