@katiecouric : My sister Emily passed away 17 years ago today. She was 54. Emily was remarkable. Whip smart, driven and compassionate, the eldest child in the Couric family who set a wonderful example (and high bar) for the three who followed. Emily was running for Lt. Governor in Virginia when she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and had to step down. She was replaced by Tim Kaine who went on, of course, to do great things. As I’ve watched so many women decide to run for office and get into public service, it’s made me think of my sister, who as a state Senator loved representing the people of Charlottesville and all of Albemarle County. Emily would be so proud of the many women who want to “be the change they wish to see.” Emily’s wonderful husband George, along with her friends and family and the good people of Virginia established the Emily Couric Cancer Center at UVA which has helped so many dealing with this maddening disease. #rememberingemily #vote
