  Does anyone have details information about sending flowers to her family, etc? I heard about it here from Kathy Fish's comment and then found the link below. I'd ask if anyone knew how she died but that sounds ghoulish.

  George, I have only heard that Cami had been ill for several weeks, then developed a blood infection and died from that. I am devastated. She was truly a unique and brilliant voice in the world and in her fiction. I hope somebody smart publishes a collection of her work. She was inimitable. I'd like to know the same thing you do and that is how to send condolences or where to send a remembrance in her name. This is a tremendous loss.

  I knew Cami from SCRAWL...she was a unique personality and writing talent. We butted heads for a while there, but after working together on a project got to know and like each other. I'm sorry to hear that's she's passed on.

  This is when I'm ever grateful that words can hold a lifetime and endure beyond it. RIP Cami.

  This is so sad, Cami's writing will most certainly endure, Susan. Thanks for posting the contact information for her daughter, Kathy. She will definitely be missed.

  I knew Cami a little and wrote about it on the Wufniks page. She was always very sweet and kind to me about my writing.
  Kathy, are we sending condolences to her sister or her daughter?

  I sincerely hope that Cami is in a better place right now. Her writing lives on and it is very strong writing indeed.

  I spent some time reading her posted stories. Sigh. Lovely, evocative stuff. I didn't know her, but feel loss anyway. Peace...

  Thanks for that, Mark. I've been googling and finding tributes all over the web. The thing about Cami is that she was so unassuming about her own work, yet championed other writers. She was a tireless reviewer. I loved her blog. just pure class and brilliance.

  I didn't know her, but she was a fantastic writer. It was a shock to hear of her death. I'm glad someone was able to shed a little light on how. What a tragedy.
