Bad News
Earlier this year I learned that a long-time friend had cancer. I'd sent her my e-mail about losing at-home internet access and to use my hotmail address. Her work in Japan kept her insanely busy, so she didn't e-mail often anyway, but I was growing pretty concerned because I hadn't heard from her. I feared she might have died when my e-mail birthday greeting to her was returned as undeliverable. I've had an APA issue edited by a mutual friend for some weeks, but hadn't read her trib because I had a bad feeling about it.
This morning I "bit the bullet" and read the mutual friend's contribution.
I was correct. Vaunda died of her cancer in August -- and I didn't know until today! I wonder what happened to her beautiful and beloved dogs...
I sent a sympathy card to the mutual friend. I don't know any of Vaunda's family, or I'd write to them.
