Very sad. If there are details at some point that include a way to remember her let us know.

She wasn’t very active on FB but she was checking in here as recently as last week. A family member (brother?) posted only that it was very unexpected and that the “exact cause” (?) is still unknown. From what I know of her on FB, she was a Boston history buff, an avid birdwatcher, and an international traveller. She was an occasional commenter on my “Mad Men” FB notes. As is sometimes the case with these connections, I don’t know if she was married/attached (don’t think so) or whether she had kids (pretty sure she didn’t).

I will certainly let you know if I learn more.

Well, that's sad. Damn.

jesus, I just checked in here because of this. It is Sparklehorse, then? That's very sad news. I dated a friend of hers for a while about 10 years ago and we were in touch quite a bit during that time. A very kind person. Shit.

Jesus. Thanks for letting us know. (I'm not on Facebook, so I had no idea.) I hadn't talked to her in a while, but she wasn't married or attached the last time we spoke, and she had no kids (other than a niece she was close to).

She was a delightful person. She sent me music, I sent her a copy of a book semi-related to the FB, we both liked Manhattans (up for me, rocks for her).

Ugh. I was just in The Ancestral Homeland, a place she was familiar with (though it wasn't The Ancestral Homeland for her), for a family thing, and I was thinking about sending her an email about it.

Double ugh.

She used to comment on my personal blog quite a bit when I was more active there. I'm very sorry to hear this. I have nothing but positive memories of her.

We didn't chat much, but she followed my travel blog and we were friends on Facebook. That suvks.

It certainly makes my whining seem a bit trivial, now.

I'm saddened to hear this, but thanks for passing the information along. She seemed like a lovely person.

So I almost posted this on FB but then decided I'm not that person-

my sister is the nurse so she got to drive the rents to appointments with doctors where we get bad news. I'm the lawyer so I handle the business stuff.

meaning I get to do the estate sale. I love doing garage sales, haggling etc, but was a bit nervous about this for the obvious. Anyway I kicked ass early. No qualms, no tears. I sold the fucking framing square (carpenter thing) that my dad used when he tried to teach me how to be a constructive person. That was the point we both realized I was useless as to doing good, and that I'd better go to law school and be a leech on society.

I sold that shit for $5 cold-blooded, rang the cash register. It was like that all day.

Then, 3-ish, a women asked how much for the 2 chairs they used to go watch kids soccer games. I said "6" then had this wave of grief. I walked into the nearest empty room and sobbed for a few. got it cleared up and walked back to her. She had decided not to buy.

meaning tomorrow I have to sell them again.

I never said I wasn't doing top-drawer work. I just noted I was being upstaged.
