Not having known she had been suffering from cancer, this is a jolt. I thank you for bringing it in, but the news saddens me nonetheless.....

I am so sorry to hear this. I had not known that she was ill.

I had the opportunity to meet Ms. Baker once, a few years ago. I loved her books, especially the Company novels. I think I'll have to read them again, now, in tribute.

Sad, sad, sad.

From everything I've heard, it was a very fast acting cancer and it wasn't very long from the diagnosis to her death; a matter of a month or two, I think.

 

[littlemissattitude]

Yeah. Cancer can be crappy that way. A knitting friend of mine has a brain tumor. He was diagnosed, oh, six months or so ago, I think, and the doctors apparently don't expect him to last much more than a month or two more at most.

 

[clovis-man]

I'm shocked. I didn't have a clue that anything was amiss. Very sad. So much more she could have written.

 

[GOLLUM]

That's sad new indeed.

Like everyone else here it would seem, I had no idea she was even ill!

R.I.P.
