    Marsha and Linda, I was saddened by the loss of your much beloved mother. She was an independent, and courageous woman, with a sharp intellect, an innate curiosity and an open mind. Daiana Lucia from New York joins me in sharing the pain of this moment. It was thanks to your mother that you became what you are - generous to a fault, equally at home anywhere in the world, and a very dear close friends for life. With much love and affection.
