Sad news to report

Colleagues:

It is with sadness that I report to you that our colleague and friend Cathy Acevedo from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign passed away unexpectedly yesterday evening. I know she leaves behind a husband and at least one child (10 years old). Cathy was such a proud member of the LKC and served on the inaugural Comadre Circle Committee. Many of us saw her in Boston a month ago. This is a great loss and we will lift her family in our prayers.
