Condolences

This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on August 6, 2004). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.

Over the course of the past few days, Jessica Wilkinson, a regular member at the Vogue, went missing. Yesterday, her family officially filed a missing persons report with the police, and word started spreading around the various Seattle communities.

Last night, the police contacted her family to let them know that she had passed away in her apartment. Nothing else is known at this point.

I didn’t know her, though from the pictures I’ve seen as people have posted notices both looking for her and reacting to news of her death, I do believe that I know who she was, having seen her at the Vogue on quite a few occasions.

My deepest sympathies and condolences to those who knew her and shared her friendship. From what I’ve been reading, many people just lost a well-loved friend.
