There is something off about this piece. Particularly the section that starts "You passed away on your eighty-eighth birthday – 4th August 2020. Do you reflect on mortality?"
I stopped reading after that.
An Editorial Note is at the bottom (as others have now noted), it should have been at the top. Had I not seen other comments I would likely have believed everything was made up. This is a terrible way to recount the memory of Frances Allen.
