She's Free At Last

For those following the blog progression here, the divine Cathy Seipp finally succumbed to her illness this afternoon at 2:05.

Sleep peacefully, kiddo. You've earned the rest.

Thanks for keeping our hearts such good company.

ADD: Here is Cathy's elaborate obituary in the Los Angeles Times.

UPDATE: My longtime friend and extraordinarily talented fellow blogger Rip Rense, with whom I worked at the L.A. Daily News back when it was still known largely as the Valley News & Green Sheet, posted this magnificent tribute to Cathy on his superb blog The Rip Post. If you can read only one Seipp remembrance, make it this one.
