Tragic news

I read in my RSS reader this morning some terrible news that one of our own has suffered a great, unimaginable loss. Ron Shiver, father of Adam Shiver of Elixir Graphics, passed away a few days before Christmas. He was 52, right around the age of my own parents; so sudden and unexpected. I am at a loss for words for anything meaningful to say but I am reminded of a quote said to me when my grandfather passed on, one which I was able to find again:
People do not die for us immediately, but remain bathed in a sort of aura of life which bears no relation to true immortality but through which they continue to occupy our thoughts in the same way as when they were alive. It is as though they were traveling abroad.

~Marcel Proust
If you wish to extend your sympathy to Adam, I've set up a thread on the RapidWeaver Support forum here.
