Del Martin 1921-2008

I don't have anything to say about Del Martin that won't be said better elsewhere. I will say that it made co-workers cry in the middle of a crazy-busy day, even ones, like me, who never met her. She was a true activist and fighter, that's for sure.

Thankfully, she got to realize a lot of her seemingly unreachable goals. Incredibly inspirational.


R.I.P. Del.

I like that the flags were lowered. That would never happen in Georgia.

She was a hell of a woman. I'm glad they got to get married.

Del Martin was a true leader in our community near and afar.
This is one of the many reasons we live in the bay area.

Thanks for posting -- it's making me a little teary thinking about the amount of courage she had.

Hopefully Californians will seal the deal for good in the next election.

Wow. I didn't know she had died. That's sad.

But great she got to marry...
