This gifted performer, this erstwhile professor at DePaul, this friend of Tosha Fowler (who is very close to me) -- has died of anal and liver cancer. She was only 50 years old and left a legacy of students, friends and colleagues who loved her. I only met her once -- in a bar called Four Moons in Chicago (where Tosha works, and still works)-- where she was celebrating the weekend with Toy (Tosha's business partner at the time) and others.
The meeting was brief -- I found her full of life, yet not quite "comfortable" as a person. I cannot explain my impression other than to recall she did not seem "right" about things. And now she is gone --- much too soon. It does bear resemblance to Sheila's death -- about the same age, equally talented in multiple ways, and taken way too soon. My condolences to all who knew and loved her.
