mmmbopthis, a good friend and fantastic person, died of complications from leukemia on November 7, 2006.
colinportnuff, another good friend, died of complications from ALS on February 11, 2007. He spent the last couple years of his life fighting for good communication devices and better legislation so that those with ALS who came after him could have an easier time with it.
Amelia and Colin, I miss you.
