On behalf on Lulu:
I just received this email from Emily’s husband.
Linda,
Emily died last night at a little after 9. She was peaceful and without pain. She stopped breathing for 15 seconds or so, and then took a big breath. Then stopped again for longer, and then took another breath, not as strong as the first. Then a third, and a fourth. And then no more.
She was a wonderful person and a wonderful wife.
Bob
I’m really going to miss my correspondence with her. She was a terrific friend, a wonderful writer, a devoted wife, mother and grandmother, and a political junkie extraordinaire. She’s at peace now dammit.
I will never forget her generosity, humor, and intelligence, especially demonstrated when she discussed Suite Harmonic with us.
