Leah Adezio died - Rest in peace, dear.

Leah was a "comic book friend" - I didn't know her as well as others posting about her death, like Peter David, Heidi Mac Donald, or Elayne Riggs. I met her through Friends of Lulu's New York chapter (the logo for the NYC chapter is Leah's own rendition of Lulu as the Staue of Liberty).
I roomed with Leah once when we staffed the Friends of Lulu booth for a con in Philly. We had a wonderful time and she was a great gal with lots of wonderful stories. I've only just now read how difficult her life was before I met her - I'm glad to have heard the good stories she had to share. Her artwork was lovely - she and Elayne did a beautiful little story that was in the Lulu's book
Storytime, Ari of Lemuria. I found this one page shot from it, just to show you how good Leah was.
I hope that there is an afterlife with all the ones you love in it - she deserves it as much as anyone else I know…
