She wasn't my representative, but she was well-known here in NE Ohio. She was the liberal voice during the days when it felt like there was NO hope for liberal thought in this state.

I'm still in shock. We have lost an energetic and enthusiastic leader and progressive voice. :cry:

4. just sad, i can't believe it

i just found out now that she died. i know she was in the hospital before and it was critical.

5. i still can't believe she is gone

how can someone be so alive and busy doing what they have always done and then suddenly they are gone.

it's going to be sad seeing the roll call of the states and her not being with the rest of the Ohio group.
