I didn't get to read Jaz's email until later in the day and was completely shocked. More so, since Beth and I have been chatting back and forth, since Raqs Gothique via email, and I still have her last in my inbox (and now how can I ever delete that).

Some of the last thoughts she shared with me were how happy she was at that event on her date. She really was looking radiant that night; really relaxed and comfortable. She was also rather *secretly* amused at taking her date to his first BD-Goth Event.
She also was very happy attending Christi's classes on Sunday nights. Since she was unable to keep to a strict class session, she was really pleased with the mixed level class, and felt that she was getting some good technique grounding.
On a personal level, her advice was valuable to me in dealing with newly developed migraines - since she had dealt with this extremely debilitating condition, she was able to give me the information I needed prior to consulting with the doctor.

I can't say that I knew Beth well - we never got to spend enough time for that. But I can say that I'm sad that I'll never get to know her better.
