Thank you Tyler, very sad and only 67. We’re out of town unfortunately, back in a few days. On the 27th we leave for our Winter home near Baton Rouge where we’ll stay for two months, returning late March. I’m going to do some writing while there, and hope I can have a good outline before we leave. Given this news, it’s difficult for me to say happy New Year Tyler, but do wish all of us well. Sad news….-Allen
Thanks for letting us know so that we may celebrate her life, knowing that her creative spirit lives on in her books. 🙂
