Angie Marshall passed away today at the age of 60. She had not been feeling well earlier in the week, but the sad news of her death did come as a shock to many of her friends on the Internet. Marie Rayner has written a tribute on her blog "A Year from Oak Cottage", to which I'd like to refer.[Unfortunately, neither tribute nor site are no longer available, January 2013].
Angie, Rest in Peace.

In Remembrance of Jane 1959 -2010
Jane was known to so many of us. She lost her battle with kidney cancer today. What a fighter this lady was, what an inspiration, never losing her determination nor her sense of humour. A shining example of how to act in the face of terrible adversity. This was true courage.
Our thoughts are with her family. Martin, her husband, is also an example, an example of true love. That love for Jane shone through in his writings about her as he kept us updated on her progress after she became so unwell she could no longer write herself. Our condolences go to her three children, Martin and her extended family at this saddest of all times.
She is now at peace, no more pain. A new angel in heaven.
Sleep well, Jane, you will never be forgotten.
The link to her journal. Please visit and leave your own memories and condolences. I have informed Martin that Jane has her place here now with our other much loved departed friends.

Lori Ann Heflin
The below tribute was copied from the order of service for the remembrance of Lori's life, which took place at Sunshine, CO, on 27 November 2009. It was used with the kind permission of Lori's friend and neighbour in Sunshine, David Wheeler.
Lori Ann Heflin died of an extremely rare and aggressive form cancer at the age of 52 on November 22, 2009. She died peacefully at her home and was surrounded with lots of love and support from her family and friends. Lori was born in Boulder and has lived most of her life in Sunshine Canyon. Lori opened Alchemy Salon in Boulder in 1991 where she worked as a hairdresser and was simply adored by her large and devoted clientele. Lori was extremely gifted with creativity and artistic talents. She was an avid writer, painter, sculptor, weaver, jewelry maker, seamstress, and photographer. The wildlife that visited her mountain home often became the subjects of her photographs, such as black bears, foxes, birds, bobcats, and deer. She loved all living things. She also liked to garden, cook, and bake pies.
Lori was passionate about life and displayed a remarkable grace and strength during her 17‐month battle with cancer. She was the embodiment of love and always had an open heart for people. She was kind, expressive, spirited, opinionated, smart, and gorgeously alive. She will be missed by all who knew her.
Her father, Robert Heflin, precedes her in death. She is survived by her mother, Ruby Heflin, sister, Janna Tyrer, brother, Steve Heflin and wife Sheila, three nieces, Shonna Tyrer, Jenny Begin and husband Henri, Kayla Andreano, and 4 great nieces and nephews, Sage, Violet, Jacob, and Olive.

Lori / Lori's Love Tribe
Lori, from Sunshine CO, passed away this morning (22 November 2009) at 4.30 am local time, after a heroically fought battle against cancer. At the moment of diagnosis, last summer, it was already incurable.
I have asked one of her neighbours in Sunshine, our own David, to write a tribute. This will be posted by myself as soon as it becomes available. I was not a reader of Lori's blog, and am saddened that I only came to know of this lady in the last hours of her life, probably at the moment of her death. Reading back through the journal, I will go so far as to say that a great person has been lost to the community of Sunshine, and to Jland / Bloggerville.
A more appropriate tribute will hopefully follow later.
