Passing

I received some bad news yesterday regarding someone that I worked with a number of years ago.  A coworker passed away after a tough fight with lung cancer.  She had a strength of character. She was a person who others looked to when things went awry.  I know she kept my world sain when all around was in chaos and disarray.  She had a calm sense about her, almost unflappable.  She was a treasure to know.  I wish her family and friends my condolences.  She certainly will be missed.  I am glad that I got to talk to her just last week.  She sounded good but tired due to the fight she had been mounting.  She is now at peace.

Maggie, thank you for all that you did and for just being a part in my life.  I certainly was the better for it.  As another friend said, heaven is certainly +1.

We should remember how short life is and grab it for all its worth.  It reinforces my drive to experience all that I can while I can.
