      I met her around a campfire in Vermont in the mid-aughts. I liked her immediately. She was so funny, had spunk for days, and she had this singular way of speaking—what I'll call a confident drawl—that made you hang on her every word 2/

          She was an extremely giving person. She had a career in social work. She was a loving wife and mother of two just-as-spunky kids, Zoe and Emmet 3/

          Aside from birthing her own two children, she served as a surrogate for a friend of hers who could not carry her own baby. I mean, what a friend--right?? 4/

          ...and she kicked so much ass, even taking comedy classes, and eventually getting up onstage and telling jokes about cancer... 7/

          ...not to mention that she found ways to keep giving as she was dying: she created The Maggie Card, which could be used by cancer patients in Vermont to receive discounts on goods and services that they might need—like hats, massages, etc 8/
