Edeyn Hannah Blackeney, My Friend

My friend, Edeyn Hannah Blackeney, passed away early Monday morning, Feb 4, 2013, apparently from a blood clot in her lung. She was 37. A talented and prolific writer, Edeyn had many fans on BigCloset for her stories of the Sk8r Grrls and others, though she had not posted much recently due to work and personal life.

She and I had many things in common despite almost three decades of age difference. We enjoyed many of the same things, laughed at many of the same jokes and even complained about a lot of the same problems. Talking to Edeyn always made me smile. We last spoke about two weeks ago and she promised to call again soon but she did not get the opportunity.

Sometimes she was like a little sister or a daughter I never had. She had a daring spirit, a kind heart and a keen and talented mind. She loved to find out things, to go places and do stuff. She had a lot of sadness in her life but always seemed optimistic with plans for the future that excited and pleased her.

Goodbye, Edeyn. I will miss you.

For Edeyn's privacy, I will provide links to news stories through PM's to people who want to know about memorial services and such. Please use the PM system to ask for that information and be patient waiting for me to send it.

Hugs to all,
