Got me shedding a tear or three now as well. She'll be missed. Thanks for the write-up - I hope it helps you to know that we share your pain.

Since I only knew her 'here', I'll simply say that her postings were acute, funny, well-observed, dry, tender and always worth reading. You knew that you'd learn something which, if it wasn't immediately useful, would be sensible and worth remembering. My sincerest condolences to you. May you always laugh at the memories.

It was my first "date" with someone from this place. I don't think she laughed when I stalled my bike. -- Paul.
