In reply to the discussion: In Memoriam: DFLforever [View all]JudyM
(29,537 posts)103. My deepest condolences, iemanja
As a long-time GOTV volunteer, myself, I have to say your mom made a lasting impact not only on the election results to which she donated her time and energy, but on the spirit of other volunteers who spent time alongside her, many younger and just learning the ropes and feeling a larger sense of democratic community from her enthusiasm and dedication. And each person that she converted or persuaded to get to the polls still carries at some level of consciousness a bit of the conversation she had with them. The number of votes she impacted, and may even continue to impact, cant be quantified but guaranteed, your mom made a lasting difference.
I honor her in my heart and wish you comfort and peace.
