My friend Debbie died yesterday. For her, the struggle is over. For those who survive, it has a new dimension.

I ask that you send thoughts and prayers on behalf of those who mourn her loss. And I thank all who have sent messages to me. That you have done so has been conveyed to her family, and any that come will be passed along. (For the background on this, please check here and here.)

Rest in peace, Debbie. We who were fortunate enough to share moments with you were blessed by your presence. You will be remembered long, dear friend.
