Thank you for your warm thoughts and butterfiles. Yesterday, after dithering for an hour or so, I went to a picnic thing over in Biloxi. Told a few close friends there what happened, and that I decided to be among the living instead of moping at home.

Yes, it was a motorcycle accident, there was a brief article on the Obit. page, but no mention of the BF/driver. Unfortunately she was not killed instantly. Today I'm going to try to find some black bunting or a wreath for our office door. Since she was a contractor in our office, it'll be up to her company supervisors to let us know what the arrangements are.
