I knew her as an architecture student at UF, but she abandoned that for working in the War on Poverty down in Palm Beach County, which while at its eastern edge it is super wealth city, western Palm Beach County extends to Lake Okechobee, and is the #1 agricultural county in Florida. From there it was up to NH, a family, and life as a woodcarver. May NH work whatever of its magic is right for you on you. Do I remember correctly that you are from Texas? sharon,

I've never seen anything like it. Snarling, aggressive guard dogs start to whimper and put their heads to the ground when he comes up to them and scratches their head or jaw. He tells me "I'm a dog whisperer, Sophie". I tell him it's probably his breath that put the dogs into submission and that he should attend to his hygiene more faithfully. Mickey and Edith would have had a lot to talk about. You know, the wolf-raised scenario would definitely explain his table manners. Maybe the dog whispering, too.

I tell you, sometimes Mickey can be such a irresponsible, uncultured little twit. He just now told me about your mother, Adam. I'm so sorry. I know she was a very talented and imaginative writer. As a matter of fact, I was reading one of her books (The Duke's Wager?) when I was down in Honduras a couple of years ago, but we had to drop everything and leave the country instantaneously in the bilge of a stolen banana boat, so I never finished it. Everyone here has said what a kind, warm, and generous person she was. I wish I could have known her. Mickey wanted to say he's sorry for your loss. And he would have, too, but he'd rather have a front tooth extracted than to write a letter or a card of condolence of any sort. What a putz he can be! Mickey certainly is fun and exciting and interesting to be around, but he has such huge, gaping holes in his upbringing. Maybe he really <em>was</em> raised by wolves.

I lost both of my parents within one month in 2005. Peace be with you and your family. Take care of the dogs. I have never left a comment on here. I lost both of my parents within one month in 2005.

I had the honor of sharing a Seder hosted by your Mom and she truly was a remarkable warm and sharing human being. Adam, you and your siblings have many wonderful memories, I'm sure. You will be able to recall these and cherish them. My sympathies go to Baz who will grow up without knowing first hand what a wonderful person his grandmother was. Luckily, the little guy is blessed to have been born in to a family of storytellers who can regale him with tales of the old country (Long Island). My condolences. May you be comforted among mourners. Adam (and family)

I just found out - I was on vacation with only intermittent Internet access. I read several of her books and respected her as one of the best historical romance writers around.

Even though my mother is 80, I still wish I could sit in her lap and have her hold me. When I'm sick, just talking to her on the phone makes me better. When something in my life turns out well, I know I can tell her about it and she won't think I'm bragging. Adam, I know that Edith was all of those things and more to you and Susie. In some ways, you may come to know her better now through the stories everyone tells you, and you'll find yourself laughing despite the pain, saying "Yes, that sounds just like her," or "Really? I had no idea!" I'm so glad that you have a circle of family and friends who can support you during this time of grieving. Please let them!
