Although this will mean little to anyone else... I want to take a moment to say goodbye to a woman I'd known since childhood. Honey Hartman was my best friend's G-dmother, although that title does not do justice to the relationship with Sam and her family.
I so vividly remember being curious about this tough-as-nails woman with the thick German accent and being somewhat terrified of her. Honey was not just strong; she was a force of nature.
Over the years I learned so much about this woman's troubled history and began to understand her a little better and the fear subsided as my respect for her grew. There was also no lack of amusement when Honey was around.
Silently, I send my love and condolences to Sam's family and to Honey's children.
