JANE DIED 3/3/07

Jane died last week. She was 47 years old. Husband, friend, and I went to a memorial for her last night.

Jane was a real spit-fire. She was one of the earliest members of Act-Up New York City. She organized needle exchange programs, advocated tirelessly for women who have A.I.D.S., and later on became an avid animal rights spokesperson. She was a true activist. She told people exactly what she thought. She pulled no punches-- whether she was dealing with politicians, friends, or clueless others.

Jane had diabetes. She had to get some toes amputated, then her kidneys failed and she chose to go on dialysis. She died at home in her sleep. She will be missed.
