On Monday, January 31, 2005, just before 4:00 p.m. EST, Laura Frances Purdy, also known as Lady Lory of The Pale Court, passed away after a long battle with cancer. I was by her side through the whole struggle, and she passed peacefully in my arms.

I put this page together from stuff I’ve saved over the years, including photos of her, some of her art, her puppy, and other memories. It’s part of how I grieve, even all these years later.
