Merde! I hadn't seen this thread until just now. Earlier this morning I addressed her Christmas card . . . Merde, merde, merde! At least her pain is over . . . and I'm in tears over the loss of someone I never met except here at Mudcat.

Barely knew her, and I'm the poorer for that. We PMed about bats and jobs and Divine's obit in Spanish . . .

I hope she got the last card and letter I sent a few weeks ago . . . and the iridescent wild turkey feather I added at the last moment.

I guess winter is here.
