The article is a tribute to Phyllis Jacobson, her life, work, and relationship with her family and friends. The author, a life-long friend of Jacobson, provides a personal look and some insight into the personality and nature of her friend, and their relationships. The article also discusses aspects of their lives, particularly on politics, which always seemed to be on the dinner menu in their household. Then the author also discusses her relationship with her husband, Michael, brother to Phyllis; and the interaction, conversations, and memories therein. The tribute then turns from being personal into a brief bibliography of Jacobson's writings, a testament, as the author states, to the human spirit, and strength of will. Thereupon the author thanks her friend, and provides a parting tribute. M. Diem
