BlankI just received a phone call from a very upset Marybeth Sheridan. She
asked me to communicate this sad news to you.

I'm so sorry to tell you all that, this morning, Jennifer Deprizio passed
from this life to the next. She is free from the pain of living with EB,
and I know in my heart of hearts that she is in Heaven with God, and my
mother is there to meet her, along with Dana and so many others.

Jennifer leaves behind a heartbroken grandmother and a very sad group of
friends in our EB community. I never had the honor of meeting Jennifer in
person, but I know how well she was loved by so many people and I know she
goes on in all of us.

For those of you who knew her and loved her, please know that my heart goes
out to you at this time of sadness. Jennifer is at peace, even as we all
continue the struggle of living a life impacted by this dreadful disease.
Shirley, you are in my prayers - please know that you are not alone.

*This was from another group, I hope that for just this once I can be
forgiven for cut-and-pasting, but Shirley's email address was noted and I
thought her friends should have this updated information in case you wanted
to send her a personal message of condolence:
