My deepest condolences to all of Darcey's family and friends. I knew her only as a student in an on-line class that I was teaching, and that she was taking up to the time she passed away. She was a superb student, and a leader to the rest of our small "remote" group. The fact that she continued to dedicate herself to submitting outstanding work right up to time she could no longer continue says so much about her.
