I just received this email.

"Dear Mr. Cleveland,
I am a close personal friend of Nancy Anderson whom you may know as
"Cyli". I was with her today in the nursing home she is at and she
requested I contact you concerning her situation. Sadly, Nancy passed
away Tuesday evening at 10 pm. She had long been suffering with
cancer.
I was with her near the end and she was sleeping peacefully.

I found you via the posts in rec.outdoors.fishing.fly.

I am sorry to bring this news. I will miss her dearly.

If I can be of service feel free to contact me at this email address.


Sincerely,
AA"

I'm speechless right now. I'll try to post more later.


g.c.


i simply cannot believe this. did anyone know of her condition?


Er, well, it's a pretty good guess that she was well aware of it...

....and on a related note, she apparently told darned few ROFFians about
it, certainly never discussed it here, and thus far, only one has
chosen to post an email notifying _him_ of the situation. And based on
that email, she didn't ask her friend to post anything here.
