    I read the news earlier while and work and felt like something jumped off the page and hit me. Even as someone who barely knew pangolyn, hearing what happened is a shock. So I can’t imagine what her family and loved ones are going through. Other people have done a great job expressing how even as casual acquaintances pangolyn managed to have a positive impact on this impromptu band of creative folks. So even though I’ve never met her, I’m sorry to hear she’s passed away and offer you my most sincere sympathies orionid.

    I’m so very sorry to hear about this. I did not ‘know’ her, but enjoyed her art. My heart goes out to you, and her family.

    Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
    Sunward I’ve climbed and joined the tumbling mirth
    Of sun-split clouds – and done a hundred things

    You have not dreamed of – wheeled and soared and swung
    High in the sunlit silence. Hovering there,
    I’ve chased the shouting wind along and flung
    My eager craft through footless halls of air.

    Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
    I’ve topped the windswept heights with easy grace,
    Where never lark, or even eagle, flew;
    And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
    The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

    A prayer traditionally read at the funreal for a pilot, but I believe that it applies to photographers as well, since we try to accomplish the same thing only with a lens instead of a plane.

    My condolences.

    I also want to share my deepest sympathies. As others have mentioned, she really stood out right away with a unique humor and creativity. My thoughts are certainly with her family and loved ones.

    I logged in to see what the next contest was, and have been sitting here in stunned silence for several minutes.

    My sincerest condolences to Orionid and pangolyn’s family. I didn’t really know her at all, but she was somehow still one of my favorite people around here. She will be missed.
