I'm so sorry for the loss her family and the whole AO community are experiencing, especially the Advisory, to whom she was clearly a dear friend. I can only imagine the pain her children are going through - not only to lose a mother, but a mother who would have (and perhaps already) invested much in the lives of her grandchildren. I know how much I rely on my parents' wisdom, as well as their particular giftings, in our homeschool. Her children and grandchildren's loss is great indeed.
Second generation homeschooler. Grateful to my Father for the privilege of educating my children at home. Thankful for his longsuffering when homeschooling sneaks up onto the pedestal to become my idol.
