From her commanding voice to her assertive, high-heeled walk, she dominated her environment until she suffered her first heart attack. Even after that, when she felt well she was Lily. Only when angina pain reminded her of her illness and she sensed her mortality was she vulnerable. At these times, everyone feared for her yet denied the possibility of her death. I remember my mother as a human dynamo. Her energy was boundless, and her ability to organize her activities astounding: shopping, cooking, cleaning, spending time with friends on the phone and in person, writing two hundred or more Christmas cards, preparing holiday banquets for fifteen or twenty, meeting with her bridge club, sewing dresses and blouses for herself and for Nitsa, and being the guiding force that made and kept together family marriages.
