I've already missed her a lot in the mornings on our #wpmorningcrew hashtag because, like me, she was an early riser. Sometimes when I was a boor on Twitter, she would calmly and mom-like introduce me to a new perspective, never a snap back or a bite. That trait is making me change my tone.

Her last tweet to me was wishing me a happy birthday two days before she passed:

Hey @jpetersen, Happy Birthday! Hope your special day is filled with everything happy and wonderful. :)

How could you NOT like this woman? As a fellow Buckeye (though I've moved), I felt closer to her knowing she lived like my grandpa did for so long and how my grandma still does, on a farm on top of a hill in north-central Ohio. We are all better people for knowing her, even if only on social media or in Docs.
