Phenomenal women – where would we be without them?

Indeed, where would we be without you, M? You have left such a void not only in the development community but in the life of friends and family.  Your friendship has always been a source of comfort, and I will always be grateful that our paths crossed in Beijing.  And although I wish I could have spent more time with you – more espresso, more mangoes, more white wine with ice – I know that in some ways, you will always with us.  Farewell for now, dearest M.
