I did not know these writers

This week Elizabeth Victoria Aldrich and Noah Eli Gordon passed on. I did not know either of these writers, but I saw a flurry of posts expressing sadness, appreciation, devastation, and respect. K. J. P. Garcia's words on grieving for these poets—or any authors—were meaningful to me. I don't know how these writers died, but they were both too young to go. Rest in peace.
