A shout-out today to my sister, Tana Cherie Hopkin Dow. She would have celebrated her 80th birthday today, but she has been gone for more than 30 of them. A faithful wife, a generous mother, a contributor to her community on many levels, she has left an indelible impression on her posterity and upon all those who knew and loved her. I fondly remember her self-deprecating humor. How we all miss her but are grateful for our time with her. In the school of life, she graduated well ahead of her class.
