"This book is a statement of profound gratitude for the woman who shared her life with me, my wife, Maggie. Maggie died

on January 12, 2022, at the far-too-young age of seventy-one. Maggie and I had been married for almost forty-nine years, and I had

known her for fifty-two years. Our life together was rich and full, a fantastic journey."

-Keith Weaver, author and Maggie's husband

"Maggie made the magic happen. As my mentor, she inspired me by her dynamo approach to everything. Maggie was funny, personable, and down to earth, but she was also smart, tenacious, creative, and ingenious. A true leader."

-Louise Grady, friend and former colleague

"Being among Maggie's colleagues and friends was an honour and a joy. Everything about her was luminous - she made the world warmer and brighter. Forever grateful for her presence, I now thank Keith for this memory."

-Ulla de Stricker, longtime friend

"A heartwarming reminiscence of a life well-lived. Maggie's enthusiasm and happiness was contagious; she brought much joy to my life."

-Judy Dunn, Retired Assistant Dean, Faculty of Information, University of Toronto

"I had the pleasure of working with Maggie for over 15 years. Her enthusiam, can-do attitude, and professionalism was something to behold. Maggie was a dear friend and colleague who always had my back."
