It doesn't matter how expected it is, when there is loss it is always unexpected in some way.
Early Saturday morning, my family's dear friend, my father's law partner in that small town, and our Christmas Eve hostess for as long as I can remember passed away.
She grew up in Iowa. She went to Wellesley. She graduated first in her OU law class, beating out her husband and my father and the future governor. She was the one my mom called when my fever got too high as a child, because she would certainly have a solution.
You can see Pru do the red lipstick experiment here, and you can read more about her and her beautiful life here.
She will be so greatly missed.
