[Vwoolf] Susan Standford Friedman

[Kristin Czarnecki]

Hi everyone,

Thank you for letting us know, Madelyn, and for your beautiful memory of
and tribute to her. I have always admired her enormously, and always will.
Years ago, I emailed her out of the blue about a project I was working on.
She offered to read the whole damn thing and did so with great care and
attention, as evidenced in her detailed and thoughtful feedback. I will
always remember her professionalism, kindness, warmth, and support.

Best,

Kristin
