She was something else.

The phrase I've seen/heard most often, I think, across now 200-300 posts or messages, is "force of nature". That's a fair attempt at describing her.

The minister mentioned her "ability to draw a bead on something and her eye never waver" was pretty good too. There was all that sort of drive and will and determination, balanced with an ability to simply connect with people in a matter of moments -- to wit, there are at least a half dozen girls she met at Ole Miss during Will's orientation that we've heard from based entirely on their relationship with her -- ... and juuuust enough Lucy Ricardo to inevitably make things interesting and memorable.

A unique combination of traits in my experience, truly one of a kind.
