Wow, so sad. . .

I went back to Nattie Writes! the site that posted the Newberry Challenge I joined, only to find that its author had died of cancer. I didn't know this woman at all but her father is keeping her blog alive at present. She was a very young woman.

I think of John Donne: Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind.

There isn't much I can do to ease this family's grief and loss, but I will read the books I committed to reading in her memory.
