Your story about Jerri Nielsen reminds me that we never know what we will be called upon to face in this life–and that some of the bad things that happen to people like Jerri are what inspire others, even save them. Thank you.

You are so right. Jerri Nielsen was a most noteworthy and interesting person. That she died and was eclipsed by the three you mentioned is very sad. She was an amazing role model and led such a fascinating brave and adventurous life. I hope she will not be forgotten.

Dear Susan,
Right on! I was sad and angry too. I remember the awe I felt when she asked for what
she needed up North to deal with it all. What a truly kick-butt woman. Thanks for your
writing and the reminder of how tough we really can be!!
