~for those who know @strangelydrstrange (otherwise known as Lia)~
I wish I could announce this to all of her followers, but Lia's partner reached out to me earlier this afternoon to let me know that Lia passed away yesterday night.
Lia was an incredible person, and was one of my first online friends, if not the first. She was extremely talented and passionate in what she did and believed in, and I am heartbroken that her time with us was cut short. I will always remember Lia, as she was one of the few people I wished to meet up whenever it was an option, and her impact upon my life and many others is defining and resolute.
RIP Lia. you will be missed.
