An obituary I've been dreading...

Madeleine L'Engle is dead - here's a link to her obituary. It's not as though I want authors to stay alive forever just so I can read their books, because that's crazy and selfish. I just hope shefelt she had enough time here.
For comfort, maybe I'll go find my copy of A Severed Wasp; if memory serves me correctly, Katherine is wise about death (and anguished - I've just remembered the part about the Second Kermesse Suite).
