I recently found out that a former co-worker passed away last December at the age of 28. Her name was Ann Wigdahl. I never had a relationship with her (though I often wish I had) and hadn't seen her in probably three years. Still, the news of her death saddened me greatly. I know it's a cliche to say this of the dead, but I remember Ann as being a genuinely nice person. Out of the literally hundreds of people I've worked with over the years, she is one of the few that stand out in my memory. I even went so far as to look up her obituary. I discovered that in the years since I'd last seen her, she'd graduated from college with a degree in chemistry. She was attending medical school at OSU and working with autistic children. I can't recall offhand the affliction that ended her life, but it really doesn't matter. She's gone and the world is less for it. We never got to know each other very well, but she'll be missed nonetheless...
