My mother-in-law Ada passed away peacefully late Thursday night after a 
two-week stay in hospice. She was 90 years old. But somehow we never 
thought of her as an old lady, just someone with more experience.  You 
probably remember her from my many photos of her over the years.

Here she is translating at the United Nations in Geneva, 1946.

And here she is a few years ago, bemusedly listening to one of my 
mother's stories:

We miss her already.  Please think of Ada, Katya and me over the next 
few days.
