Speechless

[yendi]

I'd been working in the stacks (out of cell coverage), came back to my desk, hit "post" on that last post, and saw that I had both voicemail and email from 'song asking me to call her.

irana passed away last night.

I'm stunned. I don't know how many of you knew her, in person or online, but she was just one of those amazingly warm and wonderful people, the kind who dominated a room not because she was obnoxious, but because she was simply that damned fun. She was the sort of person who would drop everything for you, who you could geek out with for hours, who was just wonderful to be around.

My heart goes out to her husband and daughter, and to everyone who no longer has her in their lives. She truly made the world a brighter place for everyone she knew.

I didn't know her, and from what you and others have written about her, I wish I had.

I echo this sentiment.

So very sorry.

That is simply unbelievable. I can't believe it.

I'm so sorry. :(

I'm so sorry, Adam. I can't imagine how hard it is to lose a friend like that, especially so suddenly.

My thoughts are with the people who cared for her.

Sadness. Condolences. Memories.

Keep the memories dear and good.

Hello, I came across your post after doing a search; I'm trying to connect with all of irana's online friends to pass information along. Service details are in my journal; please feel free to share it with others who have been touched by her life and death.
