V'Ann Cornelius (by Meenakshi Mukerji)

This is a total shock and loss. I saw V'Ann at two PCOCs ('05 and '07) and absolutely had no clue that she was so seriously ill through both. That's how well she carried herself. Active and smiling in early Nov 07, then gone
in early Jan 08 - simply unbelievable. If I had known she was ill I would have taken
the time to talk to her a bit longer and now I will be repenting that. She had been my contact person at both PCOC and we had wonderful communication. When
I left Vancouver,
little did I know that I would not be seeing her again, taking her for granted
like everybody else. The origami
community will be missing her tremendously. My sincere condolences go out to her family.
