Dear Damian, Julie, and other members of Maggi's family,

I was so sorry to hear about Maggi. I had known Maggi for a number of years, and had worked with her particularly when she was at the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Center for Human Rights. She put her remarkably keen intellect to the service of human rights, in Latin America and around the world. She was not satisfied with bandaid solutions or easy answers but sought for systemic improvements in justice systems which would lead to real and lasting strengthening of the rule of law, so that the abuses she saw in El Salvador and other places would not occur again. In recent years, she seemed very happy with the innovative work she was doing at the Due Process of Law Foundation.

With love,
