Cindy passed away this morning. Dr. James Robinson says she died
peacefully in her sleep. The cause of death is renal and respiratory
failure.

She was 52.

In lieu of a funeral, Cindy wanted to have a memorial filk. This will likely be done at Consonance.

Nope ... he's Dr. James now ... by choice since beginning of 2004 I think ...
Gad, this is so so sad, I am quite shocked to see this news, even though I knew Cindy was very sick.

Ah, thanks for that! I didn't know.

Yes, I'm sad too, lovely lady, too, too soon.

Transformation started in 2004, public announcement and offical name change in Jan of 2005.

The just added pic is from 2001, so it's labeled Dr. Jane.

Unlike a certain somebody, I'm leaving stuff before 2005 labeled Jane, stuff after is James. {grin}

That's very fannish, big grin.

And Cindy wouldn't want us all to be sad, she'd want us to remember all the fun times and how talented she was and how great she and Dr James were together.

The look on James' face as I had him and Cindy sign my Official Bootleg Copy* of the Mid-Life Crisis CD was priceless. "But which name do I use?" "Whichever you feel comfortable with." "Well, I recorded it as Jane, so I'll sign it that way."

*These were the no-cover-art, no-disc-printing copies Cindy sold at her table for a while after the original print run was gone. I wound up making my own disc label and jewel case insert with clip art a couple of years later, and brought it to their concert at BayCon last year. They LOVED it...so much so that Cindy actually showed it off to the audience during the set.
