I am so sorry to hear that we have lost Miranda Smith.

I never met her in person but by email we compared notes on Florida 
gardening, publishing, and more. Her posts on the listserv were interesting 
and thought provoking.

Thank you for this notice, Doreen.

I will miss Miranda.

It is with sorrow that I write, Miranda Smith passed away yesterday at 11:35
p.m.  She was well cared for until the end by her daughter, Simone Lepage,
and son, Tagore Smith, at her daughter’s home in College Station, Texas.

She was a member of this listserv.  Many of you knew Miranda or knew of her
passion for the environment and organic gardening.  She wrote numerous books
on many gardening topics.

Her companion in life, John Roger, kept Miranda's friends informed of her
rapid demise from a lung tumor only discovered in March.  He wrote this
several days ago:  "In the last two years she and I have gone many places
together.  Now we are walking toward a bridge only she can cross.  I am
saddened, but I am joyful to to have known her."

John's blog (link below) tells the story of Miranda's journey to cross that
bridge

I will miss Miranda greatly.  I'll post later any info on the service or
memorial, if you'd like to send a card or something.
