Jane was an incomparable writer and a wonderful friend. She was so supportive of my poetry endeavors when I was younger and less sure of myself; her legacy of kindness will be a treasure, always. May her memory be for a blessing.
My mother, the inimitable Jane Yolen passed away this morning after a blessingly short fight with Alzheimer’s. She did not suffer, and went peacefully into the ether which, I am certain for her, will be filled with words of the most exquisite beauty and meaning.
