Memories of Biff

Filed under: photos — rohan @ 20:57

These are some pictures of my friend Elizabeth “Biff” McGee, who passed away a few days ago. She was one of the happiest people I have ever known. She could light up a whole room with her enthusiasm.

I met her in 1990. She introduced me that year to several of my best friends. She helped me get what I consider my first real professional job as a network administrator for NASA; I returned the favor by helping her get her job at Cisco; we worked in the same team; then I worked for her. We’ve seen each other married and divorced, happy and sad, professional and silly. She was a fireball of energy and optimism. Throughout her fight with breast cancer, her therapy, her remission, and her relapse she showed more grace and determination to keep going than anyone else I have ever seen.

We will miss her more than words can express. We love you E.
