I had the privilege of meeting Ms. Danielson and her daughter one Saturday morning at the Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation (AVLF). My colleagues and I were volunteering as part of Nelson Mullins’ twice-yearly commitment to AVLF’s Saturday Lawyer Day. I showed up bleary-eyed, half thinking about the Saturday morning activities I was giving up. And then I met Ms. Danielson.
I knew from her file that she was in her 70s and suffering from leukemia and congestive heart failure. Ms. Danielson entered the office in a wheelchair with her daughter dutifully helping to guide her. Ms. Danielson was clear-eyed and beautiful, gracious and patient. She eloquently told me her story.
