 As I write this newsletter, the message arrived from Serenata's son that she died at 2:30 p.m. yesterday. Serenata spent this last summer battling inoperable cancer. We kept hoping that her indomitable spirit, our faith, and the love and prayers of her friends would create a miracle. Close, but not quite. Her passion and stubborness helped her hang on and create a miracle for me - designing and running the IRS Exam site from inception until the students took the exam. She worked through 40 live classes from July - Sept, while in constant pain. But she refused to let herself die until she met her commitment. I am in awe of her strength. And her love. Since she joined the I-HelpDesk & WebReview family in early 2000, she made a great many close friends in our community. Since she sent me her first unsolicited TaxMama page design that year....you've gotten to know her, too. I am going to miss that girl! (Note: The syndicated and online issues might be delayed. I really never did believe she would die. Sigh.) But Serenata isn't the only one gone. These last few weeks, not a week has gone by that we haven't had news of death. It's so draining. Please, please, my friends - be healthy! John Elledge - Roberta's husband and Scott's dad. Virginia, his daughter-in-law called to say he'd died peacefully. With his sense of humor and willingness to take risks, life was never dull around Jack. He was always generous to his family, especially his grandchildren. I'm going to miss his grin. Olga Rivera - Ray's wife is someone I've never met. But listening to the way Ray would speak of her, and the light in his eyes, it's always been obvious how devoted he was to his wife. She suffered a long time - but at least he could be with her. This is one of those time you just can't really know, was death a good thing, finally? Condolences to all the families and friends.  |
