Dearest Anna-Lisa, In the short time I have known you, you have inspired me in so many ways: to think more objectively, to laugh at myself more often, and to not take myself so seriously. Your journal entries are deep, profound, and very interesting. Every day I come to know you a little bit better, and love you even more. You are an exceptional woman, strong and determined, and I admire you more than I could ever express. Mary
