Mom was a wonderful and loving person. She had an incomparable sense of humor. She was amazing. She was cherished and loved by many – senators, judges and lawyers. She was a highly respected businesswoman. As a CPA, she never lost a fight with the IRS, an unmatched record for a professional person. We miss “Mam Mam” very much. Karla Miller
