This announcement from February jumped right off the page at me: <br /><br /><i>This week, we are saddened to announce that we've lost a member of the Dreamwidth family. <span style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='https://hippyjolteon.dreamwidth.org/profile'><img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='https://hippyjolteon.dreamwidth.org/'><b>hippyjolteon</b></a></span> passed away suddenly. We are made less by the loss</i><br /><br />I didn't know Rowan very well, but she was on my friends list at LJ, and more importantly, she reviewed and edited my story for <a href="http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/help-twelve-tales-of-healing/14257209">Help: Twelve Tales</a>. It was only one project, but I learned so much from her. More than that, over the next few months, I learned she was not only a great writer and brilliant poet, but also very thoughtful and considerate. I knew she was struggling with some health issues, but to hear that she's gone is just...I have no words. <br /><br />Hug your friends, and let them know you love them.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=roh_wyn&ditemid=165486" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
