But I did have to acknowledge the passing of one of my very earliest crushes: <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-17217161">Davy Jones</a>, gone at 66. Far too young!<br /><br />All the icons of my youth are disappearing!

We don't know details, but it was apparently natural causes. They are holding a memorial for her on Monday. If you would like a link to the obituary please email me at kelliedru at gmail.com and I will send it, I just didn't want to post it publicly. <br /><br />If you would like to make a donation in her name, I think one of the Humane Societies near her would be the perfect place, as she always said she was &quot;one of those crazy cat ladies.&quot;<br /><br />Aurora Humane Society<br />1301 23rd Street, <br />Central City, NE 68826 <br />(402) 694-2738 <br />(they don't have a webpage I could find)<br /><br />or the <a href="http://www.centralnebraskahumanesociety.com/">Central Nebraska Humane Society.</a><br /><br />I am going to miss her something awful.<br /><br />ETA: my son ran across this quote earlier today- it seems very appropriate.<br /><em><br />Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas; they live in one another still. For they must needs be present, that love and live in that which is omnipresent. In this divine glass, they see face to face; and their converse is free, as well as pure.

What a shame he didn't quite make it to the 40th anniversary of the lunar landing. I still remember how excited he sounded. It was the first time I ever heard him sound anything but calm and soothing.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kelliem&ditemid=219402" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
