life before death

Nelly died yesterday.
How old was she? Doesn't matter. She was young enough to enjoy life and she could have gone on like this for many many more years. But she couldn't. We don't have details yet but we speculate her cancer might have come back.
Two springs ago when I met her at her Palo Alto residence she drove me to Stanford shopping mall and bought a gift for viv from GAP. We posed in front of the upcoming louis vutton shop ; a picture for my French wife she said.
While driving me back to my hotel room in her really old mercedes I tuned her radio to NPR.
Last year she visited us in Paris and told me that radio station changed her life. She doesn't hate driving anymore.
A real bundle of energy she was at 75. May her soul rest in peace.
