I returned to Houston after a 3-week absence, and I couldn't figure out why Jeanne's long blue-gray boat-float was always parked in her space here at The Lamar Tower. It was never there for long because Jeanne was wielding the boat and joyously cruising it off every time you could catch a moment with her. Always headed to see family or do her thing at a charity shop. I have now learned that she has given me and my neighbors the last of her warm, beautiful smiles. I am at a rare loss for words, and I will miss her so very much. When I asked her why she moved from the Watergate in D.C. to The Lamar Tower in Houston, she said it was for love and grinned through her litany of names, ages and pictures of the family she adored. I send condolences and neighborly love to you from me and my Lamar neighbors. You had the pleasure of spending a lot more time with her and served as the center of her universe. I know how hard it must be for you now to be without her, but I am sure you will keep that extraordinary Jeanne Angulo light burning in the name of God, good works and human kindness.
Pax vobiscum, Diana Marshall, parking space #316
(P.S. - A bit of lawyerly input: Don't fight over the dog; and, no, I will not buy the Lincoln.)
