When Joe and I re-designed this site about a year or so ago, I reached out to a web designer I’d met online, Elmyra (Myra, who also went by Ellie) Jemison.  She was the Ultimate Geek Girl (the name of her site), and did a great job.  Along the way, she also became a friend.

I recently learned that she died unexpectedly and much too young.   I will miss her.

In lieu of flowers, her family asks that people consider donating to the American Stroke Association in her name. You may also contribute in Myra’s name with gifts of time, talent or treasure in your community to causes that were significant to her including homeless shelters, food pantries, rape crisis centers, and domestic abuse shelters.
