In an email sent to supporters on Saturday, Frankel paid homage to her mother in commemoration of the holiday.

Though earlier in the week sources close to the Rich campaign quoted a conversation between Nan and Hillary to me and Gossip Extra, as reported in Sunshine State News and in a Thursday GE follow-up story ("EXCLUSIVE Charlie Crist Disinvited From Bill Clinton Party by Hillary!"), Rich has assured me the conversation never happened.
