Topic: Just learned of the death of a friend

Same age as me.  No information on cause of death at this time.  Best darned pie-baker I've ever met, but dang she was really bad at paddling whitewater.  I can't tell you how many times I had to help rescue her or recover her kayak.  She's the reason all my harmonicas taste like Macanudos and Crown Royal, as she kept me well supplied with each at the campfires where I played.

She's a friend to Dirty Ed too.  Last time I saw her, we tried a duet on Helplessly Hoping.  It ended in peals of laughter, which that song does not usually engender.  A few Eagles songs worked out, though.

Taken far too young, a tragedy.

Re: Just learned of the death of a friend

It's sinking in and I'm getting kind of ticked off about it, not that there's any reason to be ticked off.

Re: Just learned of the death of a friend

I was shocked too Zurf.  Patty had emailed me about the Buckeye Smallmouth Rodeo I'm hosting next week and had hoped to get down for at least one day as she has attended all the other ones.   I just got off the phone with Dave Rhoads who posted the info on RS this morning.  He still doesn't know the specifics.  I know she suffered from an extreme case of sleep apnea and perhaps it contributed to her passing. (MDs blamed on my father-in-laws death).  I consulted Dave about maybe canceling the Rodeo but we both agreed she would want us to "go on with the party".  We'll try to have some sort of short memorial for her Friday evening.  She'll be missed by the community of smallie chasers and outdoor folks here in Ohio.

Re: Just learned of the death of a friend

If there's a funeral, I may try and slip over to Ohio for it.  Wish I could make the Buckeye rodeo.  Just can't.  It's the end of the school year and I'm hosting a neighborhood party at my house.  It would be pretty rude of me not to be here for it.

Re: Just learned of the death of a friend

Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend guys.  She looks like a great baker, and a ball of fun.  I'm sure she'll be missed.  Blessings upon her family and those who miss her.
