A long-time e-friend and correspondent of mine, Ruth Egan, passed away last September. I only just found out about her passing. Ruth blogged at Planet Bratfink, but she hadn't written anything since last May; her final post on her blog was a litany of medical troubles. I can't say I was surprised that Ruth had passed; she had been dealing with health issues for years, and lack of mobility was a clear indicator that she was heading down a dire path.
Ruth's obituary is here. She was 61, which is relatively young these days. I regret that I never had a chance to meet her in person; she seemed like quite a character.
ADDENDUM: I should have made clear that Ruth and I had, in fact, corresponded privately well after May. Our final exchange was on September 14. Ruth died on September 26.
