Man, do I have vivid memories of her from the Harundale days, when the Mayers and the Coiles were neighbors. She was a woman for all seasons, if I may say so. Glamor, intelligence, sophistication - she had it all. She made such an impression on me as a kid in the late fifties and early sixties. I remember her collection of Jazz albums that sparked an early interest in modern music, Dave Brubeck and John Coltrane to name a few along with Broadway and classical music. She had a certain beatnik spirit of freedom and zest for life about her that was irresistible. Being around her was my first glimpse into the adult world and I was fascinated. Her word on any subject had cool authority and wit. There are so many other stories I could tell about her, and also about her mother, Bessie, another extraordinary woman. I will always remember her with much love and affection. Amazing that she and my Mom died within a week of each other. My condolences Chris. Just want you to know how much your mother meant to me.
