Having kidney failure is not a unique experience. Neither is
receiving a kidney transplant or undergoing dialysis. Adopting to
irreversible uremia - a devastating illness- by assisting others to
cope with their own life trial represents the best of human traits.
Bonded by marriage for 42 years, I was privileged to love and live
with a marvelous and unique individual whose approach to life with
this horrific disease taught me to regard every moment of our
existence as precious. Preparation of this volume had two main
objectives: 1) To honor the author for all of efforts in behalf of
kidney patients. 2) To disseminate her insights and wisdom to those
who may derive comfort and benefit from her words. Mildred (Barry)
Friedman was a medical writer and patient advocate devoted to the
American Association of Kidney Patients, who died at University
Hospital of Brooklyn on September 21 st 1997 at the age of 61 of
complications of type 1 diabetes. Barry, the second child of
Leontine and Hardinge Barrett-Lennard, was born on October 17,1935
in Manhattan and attended Brooklyn College as a New York State
Scholarship Awardee earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1953. She
subsequently began teaching in the New York City elementary schools
gaining a Master's degree in education. Following the birth of her
third child, Barry developed both diabetes and Addison's disease
forcing her retirement from teaching.
