Cynthia Woods Mitchell Dies


 
You may have already learned of Cynthia Woods Mitchell's death on the 27th at age 87. 
Her obituary is in today's Wednesday Chronicle.  Should you not have a hardcopy at hand, an electronic link is at
The obituary is the loveliest and most memorable one I've ever read, no doubt enabled by the lovely person, mother, and wife that she was. 
Through the obituary, I laughed, cried, and came to admire her and the obituary's author, one of her children.  I recomend you take time from your busy holiday season to read of this remarkable, modern woman, a force behind Galveston's.historic revival, early advocate of sustainable living (The Woodlands), inspiration of and care-taker of the Cynthia Woods Pavilion, wife of dynamo George P. Mitchell, and mother of 10.
Will
