In Memoriam
We are always saddened by the loss of one of the authors in the group.
Many of us become friends, while others generously share their knowledge and experiences
while supporting each other. As writers, our work remains to continue to touch others,
to inspire, or entertain. For those who are gone we say with a heavy heart,
"Write on gentle friends, write on."
