How tragic, and a great loss in every way. I cannot bring myself to click “like” on these posts–that is unseemly in just about every way to me–so I’ll give my heartfelt condolence to family and friends in this fashion instead.

May her lifes work continue to be alive in the many she met God bless her and those that knew her peace ,i look at all the info the classes taught and taken , her smile was beautiful
This is so sad and I daresay, “gone too soon”. My condolences to the bereaved families.
I can’t believe I just found out about this! Since I hadn’t seen her on campus I had assumed she got a better job at another college (like Davis or Sacramento state). I didn’t know she died 😭 She was a great professor.
