4. She looked stressed.

She made an appearance at a fund-raiser I went to this summer.

When it was her turn to say a few words, what stood out was
the impression she left that being a legislator in Madison this
past year was a constant, never-ending, daily struggle. One
thing after another. No rest, no letting down.

Just a lovely person, though. Hope and pray she makes a
quick, full and complete recovery.
