Please follow me over the fold for an excerpt from the BMG diary by my friend Kate Donaghue...
We have lost a treasured member of our community.
It is with great sadness that we write to tell you of the untimely death of our dear friend, Lori Bonatakis. She posted and commented extensively here on BMG as lolorb.
Lori leaves behind her beloved daughter, Kristina, and several pets.
I didn't know Lori personally, but I knew and respected her writing. She worked tirelessly on behalf of Howard Dean in the 2004 campaign, and she was a wonderful progressive blogger whose voice will be missed. My heart goes out to her family and friends - please use the comments to pass along your well wishes and remembrances...
