When I read today that you had died, I burst into tears. Another shining light, another excellent woman, lost to us here on earth. I know that someday we will be friends, when we meet in heaven. (That’s such a great perk of salvation–knowing you’ll meet your heroes someday.) But I need to thank you now, for writing what you wrote, for inspiring me to create, for celebrating the infinitely small as well as the infinitely large, for the idea of kything, for the sense you infused into all your works that the universe, while supremely logical and scientific, is also wildly mysterious. I know you are enjoying that mystery now, Madeleine.
ohhh. i didn’t know until now. ohhh..
This broke my heart too – she was such a gift!
