Sadly, I just got word that Daniel Ford who created Sam Valentine (an unpublished comic strip he and I worked on) died yesterday. Daniel was also co-creator with me of Quillian. He was a talented young artist, only 38, who died in his cobbler shop Tuesday, November 5, of complications from diabetes.

It hits me pretty hard, we had been friends for more than fifteen years and I will miss him a lot.

Take care of yourselves out there.

Hugs,
Erin (Joyce)

Your talents together were brilliant. Your friendship must have been awesome, I am in tears over what is of course a loss for us all but for you especially, dear one.

Sorry for your pain.

Losses like this leave us feeling broken and empty. Though it does not feel it now, perhaps this grief will ease in time?

Erin, words are inadequate in times like this. I love you hon, thank you for being you, and accepting nothing else. The more we share, the harder it is when they are no longer there. Hardest on us who are left behind. Focus on staying busy, add pieces of sharing memory in but stay busy.
Hugs
always

Daniel was a very giving and sharing type, part of why he'll be missed by so many.
