I am so thankful I subscribed to your Substack. Your historical and political knowledge, humor, and kindness are inspiring. I am grieving yet celebrating the life of my 95 year old mother who crossed the rainbow bridge peacefully yesterday. She was an amazing woman, strong and kind, and fiercely independent. She definitely would have been leading the charge for women today in the election.

My condolences, Karen. I'm sure she'll sit with the kitties and wait for you on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.

Sincere condolences, Karen. Your description of her shows you learned the lessons she most wanted to teach you. Celebration and sadness always coexist, don't they?

My sympathies to you and appreciation for the fact that your mother gave us you - one of the voices who have consistently added a sensible, positive, sometimes humorous - note to the group here on Tom's comments. She obviously did a good job.
