So sad!  I haven't heard her name in a long time.  RIP, Cokie Roberts.

Cokie Roberts was an excellent journalist, she was clear and well reasoned.  I used to drink my morning coffee listening to her morning NPR slot with Bob Edwards.

I heard her speak twice at a local University, she was so warm and interested in what was going on locally.

I wish she and her family Peace.

It never ceases to amaze me how some people on these forums go through life being so darn negative and crabby. about everthing!  

I for one celebrate Cokies life and contribution to society.  It was not easy being a women in her field.  She blazed many trails for others!!  She was so calm, well informed and a journalist and reporter from the old school.  She was respected because she was excellent at her work.  She died from complications from cancer which she had on and off for quite a while.
