Today I returned from Thanksgiving break to learn that Tanta had passed (see Remembering Tanta or Sad News). The news certainly made me sad.

Tanta was an incredible blogger. She was insightul, funny, and sharp as a whip. It is no exaggeration to say that I received a heck of an education from Tanta. She (among others) inspired me to start blogging.

In this time of reflection and giving thanks, there is much for which I am thankful. One of those is for the privilege of having been able to read Tanta’s blog posts. And while I am thankful for her posts, I wish I didn’t feel compelled to write about them today, because it stands as a reminder that she, and they, will be no more.

I didn’t know Tanta personally, but that does not mean I will not miss her. Unfortunately, to simply say that she will be missed is an understatement.

My deepest sympathies go out to her family.
