Add Another Year-End List: This One for Mothers Who Die Giving Birth

   There are a lot of year-end lists. I would propose one more: a list honoring all the mothers who died while giving birth to a child.  
   No less than 861 mothers died in 2020, which is the most-recent year I am finding. That is 17-18 per state, so it becomes workable to print short statements honoring each.
   Mothers are one of the greatest treasures society has. When we lose them, it is right to morn. When they give their lives attempting to give life to others,  it is a noble tragedy. Let us bless their memory.
