What Do I Say?

[fyi_murphybrown]

I grew up at your knee. You were as much a part of the family as Corky and Frank and Miles. And I know that Dad's always had a crush on you.

When you got sick, Mom was there next to you you, walking you through what she went through when she was sick. When I had questions, you were an email or a text away. You shaped not just me, not just the journalistic landscape, but the world.

Rest in peace, Cokie. It hasn't been easy this past year, but now you can rest. Thank you for everything - I still have the bear you gave mom when I came home from the hospital. And just so you know - Mom broke the news this morning, and she broke down in tears on the air. So you win.

Thanks for everything.
