Mom, you were such a loving and generous person, helping neighbors in need and my brother and me as we went off to college. You were also a strong woman, researching treatments for your cancer and travelling far to receive them. You were incredibly intelligent, doing editing for journals and other authors as well as your own writing. You gave my brother and me a keen love of learning. You figured out social trends well before others did, even before they emerged. You were fun to be with, too. You loved science fiction and cooking exotic cuisines and finding the humor in everything. Even though it has been ten years, we still miss you. Rest in peace, Mom.
