Thanks

Thanks for all the words of support. It is, in fact, supportive.

Those of you making offers of help who knew Leah during her fannish years in Chicago or Louisville, Jessica is collecting stories. I won't give out an email when I haven't asked her first but she's on Facebook at Jessica Rich or on Twitter at @rhiannonbestler.
