*hugs Sundae*

@ Pete: that sucks m'dear. Hope they can sort it out fast.

Yesterday we all got emails to tell us that Katrina passed away. Her family and friends have lost a wonderful woman. The world has lost a brilliant scholar and a truly inspiring teacher.

Fuck cancer.

Griff · 10-25-2011, 05:29 AM

Sorry D.

limey · 10-25-2011, 06:27 AM

Fuck cancer.

Lamplighter · 10-25-2011, 09:33 AM

That is sad. Dana, we know you will miss her,
and that she made an important impact on you and your career.

DanaC · 10-25-2011, 10:48 AM

Thanks guys.

classicman · 10-25-2011, 11:24 AM

sorry to hear that Dana. (hugs)
oh and FUCK CANCER

Sundae · 10-25-2011, 11:34 AM

So sorry Dani.
It's hard to lose anyone, but especially someone who has made such an impression.

Mum has been asked to name her funeral home of choice by the nursing staff.
Of course she knew it already and has all the plans in place, but it's obviously intended as an advance warning.

Pete Zicato · 10-26-2011, 11:35 AM

I'm so sorry for your loss, Dana.

SamIam · 10-26-2011, 07:17 PM

My deepest sympathies, Dana.

*smiles*

You guys rock.

We had a little gathering for her in the school, just a few staff and postgrads, a couple of her former students. It was nice.

I didn't really know her all that well. Others of her circle are suffering genuine grief, so I feel slightly fraudulent accepting your condolences. I'll accept them on their behalf.

I am saddened though. I regret that I never got the chance to get to know her as a colleague, rather than as her student. I also regret that she isn't, and hasn't been, around on my first teaching experiences. She had a reputation for being immesely supportive and helpful with early career teachers in the school. Hers was a friendship I'd have courted.
