A No Good, Rotten Day

I am slowly recovering from the respiratory crud that I picked up from Gretchen.

I woke up to Gary's e-mail that let us know the sad news that Bari Greenberg had died from a heart attack. This wasn't something that anyone could plan for and it had to be a horrible shock for Bari, Cat, and their family, as well as anyone who knew him.

Later in the day, we got the news that our old friend Paul's wife, Leah, had died after a stay in hospice care. There had been so much warning that this wasn't a shock. That doesn't make it a lot better.

Sympathy. And more sympathy.

Two in one day is two too many.

I am very sorry for your losses. You, and they, are in my thoughts.

I know that Leah had been chairman of at least one of the earliest Capricons, but do you know which one(s)? I'm asking so I can include the information on [profile] sfmemoriallist.

Damn, I can't believe we're already starting the Memorial List for Sasquan.
