Very Very Sad News
Via Tea Cozy via Elaine at Wild Rose Reader:
I am sorry to tell you that Grace Lin’s husband Robert Mercer passed away early this week. One way to send your condolences to Grace and to Grace’s and Robert’s families would be by donating to cancer research in Robert’s memory via the Jimmy Fund. I also encourage our blogging friends to help spread word about Robert’s Snow for Cancer’s Cure and the 2007 auctions that will raise money for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. I know many of you will keep Grace in your thoughts during this very difficult and sad time.
Grace Lin contributes to the blog Blue Rose Girls. She is the author of such books as Year of the Dog and Lissy’s Friends.
