On 26 June 2012 a light went out, permanently gone from the world. Writer, essayist, humorist, movie director, wife, mother and overall GREAT gal Nora Ephron died. This wonderful woman died far too soon, much too young at age 71.
I always pictured Ephron an old grand dame pontificating in NYC among the intelligentsia … Me having the chance to meet her, chat with her, seek her advice.
My own quick witted, brave and bold mother introduced me to Ephron’s work by giving me the book “Crazy Salad”. I think my affection for Nora might have a little to do with the fact that like my mother she was acerbic, sarcastic but also a really fair minded and loving woman – they both were the take no prisoner type of broad that I aspire to be.
Nora Ephron had in her third marriage the love she, like all of us need in this life. I am gladdened by the fact that like myself, she was married to what friends describe as a loving, supportive — her biggest fan good man. My condolences to all who loved her.
Our shared Jewish faith teaches that remembrance is a route to eternal life … For her, as I hope my own will be, was a large life and as such Nora Ephron will live on forever!
