Polycythemia Rubra Vera and Levittown, Pa.

mutual friend: I will always remember the day I met the woman who would become my beloved partner, according to Globe and Mail. It was in Chicago, in 1996. Born on March 30, 1958, in Levittown, Pa.; died on Oct. 27, 2015, in Toronto, from polycythemia rubra vera, aged 57. A mutual friend had given Melissa my phone number, and we had agreed to meet. The effect, with her curly dark-brown hair piled on her head, and impossibly blue eyes, was pure Melissa. I knocked on a total stranger door, and was greeted by a woman in an ochre flower-printed vintage dress, blue ankle socks and brown men shoes. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
