Amelia and I became well acquainted through her niece Carole. What I will always remember is how excited Amelia became whenever we talked about travel. I’d pull up colorful itineraries on the computer which we’d huddle over as we launched into discussions about travel . Despite her awareness that her health was declining, she was motivated by thoughts about what might still be do-able. She was a woman of courage as she faced the fragility of increasing years but she certainly enjoyed living in the realm of possibilities. I shall miss our visits.
