Via JF Beck, I have just learned that one of our Internet friends and frequent correspondant to many of us here, Rafe Champion, has lost his beautiful and talented wife Kilmeny Niland to a particularly aggressive form of non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
There is a lovely tribute by Nicholas Gruen at Club Troppo. Please do click over and read it.
Let our thoughts and prayers be with Rafe and his family, and let us wish them strength and peace in the days to come.
Our most sincere condolences, Rafe.

UPDATE: Another touching tribute, by SkepticLawyer who used to blog with Rafe over at Catallaxy.
UPDATE #2: “A Note from Rafe Champion,” with details of Kilmeny’s upcoming memorial service and some lovely photos he’s chosen to share.
