Ms. Geraldine Anne Ferraro
She died today, March 26, 2011 of a type of blood cancer called multiple myeloma at the age of 75.
This educated, intelliegent and articulate woman was very inspirational to many women by encouraging them to run for office. She paved the way for so many and paid the price as she did so, by enduring a lot of patronization, but she wouldn't relent. She was indeed a woman of substance.
I never got the chance to meet her, but this is the type of woman I would have liked to talk to to learn some nuggets of wisdom from.
Ms. Ferraro was laid to rest on March 31st.
May her soul rest in peace and may God grant her family the fortitude to bear this great loss.
