It is with great grief that I hear from Patty that Marsha Menard, who was a Dimensions chat regular under the handle M_A_M, has passed away, apparently due to complications from pneumonia.
Marsha had been gearing up to tackle a giant project, walking across the United States. You can read her plans on her Fat Girl Walking website.
That is so tragic. Marsha's goal, in her words, was "to walk across the United States, help support homeless shelters, speaking up for size acceptance, and leaving a big impression everywhere she treads."
She was so young, but as someone who almost died from acute pneumonia 20 years ago, I know how quickly and unexpectedly pneumonia can kill.
I am sure we will learn more of the sad circumstances. All I can say right now is that the whole Dimensions community has lost a wonderful spirit, a wonderful person.
