It was not my loss but the loss of our whole community. Laura was a gifted artist, wonderfully spoken and overall a woman that help set the bar around here. You hit it on the head Jasonbu. When one of ours is suffering or lost it has ripples throughout the whole ecosystem.
I see your coffee cheers and raise you a tequila and lime. It's going to be a day of drinking, thinking and healing. Coping skills aren't that great, but I figure between this post, a handful of tequila and having the community send their best to her and hers everything will be ok eventually. Cheers man.
