    For those who don't know, Cokie was a well respected journalist and author.

    She won the Edward R. Murrow Award, Everett McKinley Dirksen Award an Emmy the Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism.and the Foremother Award.
    We'll miss her.

    Trump commented that "She never treated me nicely." In the past he has remarked that one question she put to him was “very nasty.”

    Obama called her a "trailblazing figure".

    George W. Bush said she “covered us for decades as a talented, tough, and fair reporter.”

    Not only the above, but she was REAL in a world of fake talking heads that parrot what the teleprompter says and is constantly distracted by the voices in his ears telling he/she how to react, look or posture.

    Mel she reminds me of you. I could believe that was a grandmother of yours. Something about the eyes.

    Yeah I see it actually, that's pretty cool! She looks a lot like a blend between my mom and grandmother to me

    No, she was Roman Catholic but I can understand. The same thing was done to me only I managed to escape. As far as I could ever tell she was a talented journalist and a good person. Why do you care what religion she was anyway?

    Big fan of her reporting on NPR. Strange to think that we will never hear her voice again.
