4. I was priviledged to have met her once
She was a warm person and had such good things to say about my club.

The Congresswoman who objected to the electors in 2005. She will be missed.

5. Channel 5 reported a minute ago that she had passed at 6:12pm
given the false alarm earlier, it's no surprise they waited for this report ...
