Yes, very sad news. I saw it posted on a few other forums today. It's been a bad week for friends and acquaintances. For me, she was third in less than a week. I hope and pray there are no more for a long time.
 
I dont know Doug, but he is well known in the turning community. My condolences for your loss Doug
 
Thanks to all the hundreds of people who prayed, wrote, sent emails and called... the support of this group is amazing. Almost everything is done for funeral on Thursday which will be trying. She was a great person, striking, a great cook and one of a kind that we'll never see again.
