Remembering Sarah Battreall |

 Star for Sarah B Her son Robert O'Connor, a soldier who had served 2 tours of duty in Iraq, shot himself last year. Sarah was set against the Iraq War from the beginning and was aghast that Robert had to go into harm's way in Iraq. She couldn't handle Robert's death and this month she too shot herself. I don't have a photo of Sarah, so I used the service star that she'd had on her web site for Robert.
After Robert died, she couldn't keep up her energy for the blogging work of taosblog.com and actually removed so many of her previous posts. Several times after that I tried interesting her in doing something with it again, but Sarah said she wasn't ready to do that. I went off to India for three months hoping that she would feel a bit better by the time I returned in early July. I planned to contact her soon to talk about resurrecting taosblog.com.
I really liked our meetings at Wired Cybercafe where we'd discuss the taosblog.com technology, procedures, and content. I really like the wide brimmed hat that she wore. I really liked how sharp she was with computer work. I really liked how intelligent she was.
Remembering you Sarah. I will miss you. I know there are many others who will miss you, too. I feel very sad that I won't be seeing you again. Sorry that this all had to work out this way. Much love to you, Dear. Rest in Peace. |
