Starting to fill in nicely
Steve Harvey's latest column of quirky bitsLaura lost her battle with cancer on Saturday night. Her sister Celia blogs about her loss with love and a heavy heart at 5th and Spring. I never met Laura and I believe only met Celia once on a story assignment several years ago, but their updates on the disease (including at Laura's own website) touched the L.A. blogging community. Many responded to a blood drive earlier this month, and some will remember the photo of Laura's downtown rooftop wedding in May. Celia has posted information about services here and in Hawaii. Laura was 36 years old. (Update: James Adams announces his wife's passing and expresses relief that she is no longer in pain. 10:05 p.m.)
