Very sad news. I went to Calculatedrisk.blogspot.com to check on the economic news. I was shocked with the news that Tanta had passed. I knew that she had cancer but had no idea how sick she was. I thought and hoped that she was recovering. Her voice was unparalleled on the topic of mortgages and their effect on the economy.
Even though I only knew her through the blogoshere, I still feel like I lost a friend. Go on over to Calculated Risk to express your condolences and to find links for more info.
Sorry for the short diary. I'll remove this if someone posts a more eloquent diary.
