Sad news was created by Sandi
I received word today that one of our members, Siliconvalleygirl, passed away. This is all I know:


Leslie Anne Shevick Raymond On Monday, August 9, 2010, Leslie Shevick Raymond passed away due to complications from pneumonia.
Leslie is survived by her husband, Christian Raymond, and their two children, Serena and Connor, and her parents Barry and Emily Shevick, and her brother, Scott Shevick.
On behalf of the family, we thank you for your prayers and support....


I was very shocked and sad to hear the news.

I was so shocked and sorry when I saw this on Facebook. Her family must be devastated. Her children are only 3 and 5. Condolences to her family. She became my "friend" on Facebook, telling me she'd play Yoville with me. She also used to post entries from her blog about technical things.

That is so sad! I remember her posting quite a bit on the old board! Can't imagine what her family is going through! I hate that pneumonia kills people and I have personally been close to 3 that have died from a staph infection that happened during or right after pneumonia! :( Praying for her family and her children!

Very sad news. Wow. She was a web designer, as I recall, for Disney. Wonderful lady.

Best wishes to her family.

It's always hard to lose one of our group. I wish I had known her more than I did.

i'm shocked to hear, I know she commented on a few of my posts and I commented on hers. I know we both lived in the bay area. Wow!!! I've been away for a while, since my counts have been normal, but this is sad to hear. Not that it matters now, but were her counts still low, could ITP lead to pnemonia? My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Based on her last few posts which I went back and read, she was doing pretty well with Win-Rho. No, ITP itself does not increase the risk of pneumonia.
