It Is The Laughter We Will Remember

from Living on the Smile Side of Life · host Noreen Braman

Today I watched a segment of CBS Mornings, July 22, 2025. The story was about Gilda Radner, and her battle with ovarian cancer. Alan Zwiebel revealed his calls with Gilda, how she told him the bad news, and ask specifically that he help her laugh about it. It reminded me of my friend Madeline Hoffer, who called me to tell me about her bad news - and told me she called because she wanted me to help her laugh. And laugh we did. Unable to visit in person because of a broken foot, I promised I would laugh with her in person as soon as the boot came off. It was our last conversation, and yes, it is our laughter I will remember her by.
