My best to Ms Seipp and her family. Cathy is not merely a pundit; she’s an honest to goodness writer. And that, I think, is what sets her apart from so many of us toiling away here in the ether.

My best as well – it’s a terrible time but at least she’s able to spend time with her family, and her family has had some time to spend on her.
Good work and God speed, Cathy!
We just went through this with my father. Here’s to a peaceful transition, and to nothing left unsaid. Thank God for good families.
Godspeed.
Pablo,
I’ve never heard it said better: “Here’s to a peaceful transition, and to nothing left unsaid.”
To that, I can only add a silent amen.
Indeed, more eloquent than I could be.
I had sort of drifted away from Cathy’s blog lately. I didn’t realize she was that far along. In fact, at first I didn’t realize it was Maia posting when I read that. I thought it was Cathy talking about her mother. So sad.
Well said Pablo. I went through it with my father too.
This is very sad. I hope they can at least make her comfortable.
I knew her best from the comments sections of other blogs. When I saw her name the pleasure centers of my brain lit up. She was a name with a voice, but she had more presence than many people I see most days.
It really is just awful.
I first learned of her from her UPI stories (we have a UPI scroll on Bloomberg), and always enjoyed seeing her byline – it meant a good read enlivened by solid horse sense was on tap. Later finding out she was a fellow heartless conservative deathbeast was just icing on the cake.
I left a quick note for Maia and the rest of the family at the blog. I can’t imagine losing your mom when you’re 18 or 19. Jeez, this sucks.
A good roundup of tributes and reax is at Blair’s place.
