I was horrified to learn earlier this morning that a friend of mine died quite suddenly of cancer this morning. She had fought through a bout before, and had come through OK, though only after great pain and hardship. Apparently there was a sudden resurgence of it in the last few months, and it carried her off very quickly.

She was a very much larger-than-life person, acerbic, loud, honest, outspoken, a gay rights and anti-AIDS activist. I don't believe she had a partner at the moment, though I feel rather bad that I don't know for sure.

There's an obit in the Washington Blade, I'm glad to see. I'm very proud to have been a friend of hers.
