Mary and I will miss Luda greatly. She was one of the most adventurous, warm people we knew. She was curious about everything and went exploring regardless of whether it was "safe" or not. I thought of her as made of iron as nothing bad ever seemed to happen to her from these adventures. In fact, we met because she just walked right up to me at the Collingswood pool and sat down and said, "I Luda. I talk you?" She had just arrived in NJ (after being briefly in FL) and her English was spotty. That never stopped her! We started to chat. Oddly, I had been tutoring refugees and immigrants in English after I retired. How did Luda know? Who knows? That's just Luda. She'd talk with anyone. She'd hop in a car and go places with (nearly) anyone. A ride to Philadelphia? No problem. When Luda had her surgery, we sat back-to-back on her hospital bed waiting for the orderly to come for her. She was philosophical but not fearful. And did that surgery last way, way longer than anyone else's would? Of course.
Luda, you are loved. I hope your spirit is making new friends already in whatever dimension you are in now.
