We are so lucky to have known you, Lenore. I can't believe you're gone. You were a fierce, outstanding woman and a loyal friend. Your dedication and work in BBP lifted us all up in countless ways. Your spirit lives on in everything good about our community. I will miss you. The Gazette will miss you. Always.
