A passing, untimely

A good friend called me a short while ago with bad news. Her mother-in-law had passed. I knew her mother-in-law, who was always very nice to me, and I was fairly shocked to hear the news. While she always commanded respect, seemingly without effort, there was never a hint of condescension, a rare combination in a manager/matriarch with such wide influence. It's a shame it was so sudden.

Not so long ago, I did some computer work for their family business, and it was evident how important she was to that operation. She managed so many aspects of the day-to-day operation, it's going to take them some time to just to get back to normal.

My condolences to the family and employees. She will be missed by many, and in many ways.
