In Memoriam: japple

Japple (Judith Anne Phillips Langston), age 75 of Fairmount, GA, passed away on Saturday, April 5, 2025 at her residence. A member since 2004, she loved reading fiction and devoted much of her time to kitty rescue, raising funds to care for shelter cats, and caring for several herself. She also took gorgeous photos of sunrises outside of her front door which she shared elsewhere.

I had posted this info in the Fiction group but I wanted to be sure it would be included in the Memoriam for 2025.

The loss of another member of more than two decades.

Thank you for conveying the news. Too often members just disappear, leaving a hole and question.
