In Memoriam

Gabrielle posted earlier at her blog, that romance author Jude Deveraux's son was killed on October 6th.

My heart goes out to her. I cannot fathom what it must be like to lose a child, particularly one that was so long in coming. I've lost many people in my life, my parents, my brother and many relatives, but the loss of a child is in a category all it's own.

There's a guestbook at the Washington Post where people can post their condolences.

There's also a short article in a local paper. You can find it here:

I've been a long time fan of her older books, and I recently reread a Knight in Shining Armor which is a classic of hers.

My deepest sympathies for her loss.
