Sad news, not OT

I just wanted to share on here that a special shopowner has passed away. Donna
Ashley of And Needlework in Middlefield, Ohio, died last week after a long
battle with cancer. She had written me in June to say that she had sold the
shop contents to someone in Maine, because her health had declined and it was
found her cancer had spread. She was a dear, sweet lady, her shop was always
neat as a pin (needle?) and I always found her to be so very helpful, whatever
I was looking for. I also enjoyed many chats with her when I visited the shop,
and will miss her very much. I believe some of you might have known her and
just wanted to share.

Thanks,
Kathy

I'm sorry for our loss and for her struggle. I'm sure you will miss her.
