Go in grace, Jay

[deborahjross]

Just read that Jay Lake died. Stomped around my friend's apartment, cursing silently and not so silently. I knew him in person far less than I would have liked -- an exuberant, funny, loving man. I was privileged to work with him as an editor, and loved reading his work. I have tremendous admiration for his courage and willingness to be open about his journey through cancer. My heart goes out to his family and all his many, many friends. We were lucky to have him in our lives, if only for far too short a time.

I got to know Jay (in a very tiny way) through your journal. Thank you for that ♥

I'll miss him too, even though I barely knew him. He was someone who really knew how to make life worthwhile.

Yes. His courage in taking us all with him on his cancer journey was amazing.
