7. I am very sad to hear this

I tend to disappear from DU every once in a while, and I was saddened to hear about this upon my return. I didn't get enough chances to chat with JackpineRadical. I enjoyed the posts, and feel we lost another great contributor to the group. I am sorry for your loss, and the loss to DU.
