I just read Ink's comment, and I see that Ink and I are on the same page!

No wait...Ink is talking about the pen name and I am talking about the name of the pen.

Andrea, this is a sweet tribute. I'm thinking that she wrote with flair could refer to the trademark pen she used (lol), but my mind does weird things. The fact that she was a poet and novelist. is an accomplishment that you put together with sheet kindness of description.
