One of our own has passed on

It makes me incredibly sad that a young, bright and aspiring libertarian has passed away. The last time we spoke, I mentioned the possibility of her reading some of her fiction at a Libertarian Home meetup. It seemed there was all the time in the world to organise that. Now, the time has gone.

Christina died in Thailand in a murder hotspot, but I am told she died of natural causes. What is abundantly clear is that she was having a great time.

So very sad and shocked to hear that my good friend @chrstinadarling has passed away. Taken far too young. I am in disbelief.

RIP @chrstinadarling. I still hope this is a cosmic-grade windup by O.

Very sad and shocked to hear of the death of Christina Annesley. Thoughts and prayers with her family and friends.

and the all the rest.

LATER:

I have just left a gathering of political activists from every corner of the community who had met or come to know Christina. Organised by Misanthrope Girl, the impressive turnout represented many of the junior and middle tiers of libertarian political figures. Her contribution has been acknowledged at the highest level. The fine people who took time to remember her today, from as far afield as Australia, are a credit to her character and good standing.

LATER: a longer article in celebration of her life is available.
