I so hear this. My niece died of ALS recently, also, and in her decline she looked like a cross between Stephen Hawking and RBG. I know that as an attorney with the federal justice dept in Calif and also a firebrand school board member she would have loved being compared to RBG, and I did that in the talk I gave at her memorial. I wish I would have had a mother who was fully supportive of whom I wanted to be also, and looked to role models like RBG. I wept when she died. And now we see that the future we feared without her in her influential position may be realized, another grief. Thanks, Mary.

Thanks for reading and sharing your niece’s story. I like to think RBG is up there, being patient and persistent. And planning her revenge. 😊
