Mom left no public record aside from a letter to the editor published in The Tulsa World. There are the emails we send, the photos we post and the comments we debate and wordsmith before hitting Return. But for a historian looking at the life of someone who has died, the same clues can lead to understanding. I patted myself on the back for having insisted Mom record her passwords, and we sisters rejoiced … for about five minutes. We could see that her phone was receiving texts — texts from Apple containing the codes needed to access her account — but we couldn’t unlock the phone, so we couldn’t see the code.
