Baruch dayan ha-emes. Not.

Today I learned that a wonderful woman I used to work with, Linda Kennedy, is dead. She was smart and dedicated and she loved her dog and she cared about poor people.  A lot.  When I knew her, she'd already had breast cancer for a couple of years, and it had just metastasized to her bones.  After six years of living with cancer, she is gone.  She was only 43.

We only worked together for a few months, and after she left my office I didn't stay in touch the way I could have.  That's SOP for me, and this is not the first time I've had cause to regret it.  But putting aside me and my petty issues, she was a truly good person who changed others' lives for the better, and she is dead.  And the wicked prosper.

True judge, my ass.
