 my dearest and only sponsor died. she was 55 years sober. what an inspiration to me. she offered me hope when i had given up. she offered me unconditional love. she helped me grow spiritually. she was "old" AA and i was the one who benefited. she knew Bill W. and Dr. Bob. she was one of the very first women in AA. i am heartbroken tho i knew she couldn't live forever. i want to post a tribute to her here but too upset right now.
IN LOVING MEMORY
Terry Brown
