The passing of a friend...

[phyncke]

I just found out today that CS, my good friend and colleague passed away last night, losing her struggle with breast cancer. She is the one who hired me at UC Berkeley and mentored me for years here. I am having trouble feeling quite anything and I am sure the feelings will come soon enough. She worked here for more than 40 years and contributed to the life of the campus. I learned a lot from her and she had a wicked sense of humour.

I will miss her a lot and I am glad she is no longer in pain. Cancer is a cruel disease and I am sorry that she had to go through that.

I am not up for comments on this as I don't want to go back and forth about it. I appreciate your thoughts as always and know you are there. Thank you for reading. Spare a thought for her spirit and have a laugh. She loved to laugh and tell a good story.

Here is to her.
