I too always held this lady in special esteem. While I have had many people after her who found out that they had life threatening illnesses and still "happily" maintained their quits till the very end, she is the one who first made me realize the reality of this premise. I lost contact with her son decades ago but hope he and her daughter and all of their descendents have learned from her example and continued through life now totally committed to never take another puff!
