[Magdalen] Jennifer Durand honored

[Grace Cangialosi]

Yes, Judy, and it's even more amazing to see her in person! I don't believe I could do what she's doing.
I was at the service with her about ten days ago and then saw the Stephen Hawking film the next day. They are pretty much at the same level physically.
