A Devastating Loss

Yesterday, we returned home from a short get away at the coast where we attended a family birthday party. The answer phone was blinking and the message informed me of a terrible event but did not elaborate further. This morning an early phone call from a friend in Glendora told us of the news which she had read in the morning's Los Angeles Times. Judy Meier had been killed.

Life is fleeting , as we all know, but when someone so vital to the community is suddenly taken away, we are all at a loss for words. The Editor of the Desert Sun will be sorely missed.

On an August 19, 2011 post I joked about the SUN and told Judy about the post, which she read. Her reply is below:

Hello:
J. P., is this you?
Thanks for putting the Sun in your blog. It was fun (and a little strange)
to read about ourselves; we¹re accustomed to doing the writing!
