34. To paraphrase John Donne's beautiful poem....

"Anyone's death diminishes me, because I am involved in humankind..."

I didn't know DUer yellerpup either, but she obviously felt the same way about social and political injustices as the rest of us. In that respect we are all diminished by her transition into another form. Her energy continues on.
My condolences to her family and friends.
