The very lovely romance author Jackie Barbosa lost her 17 year-old son Julian last Thursday in a head-on traffic collision. Jackie and her family have set up a memorial fund that will eventually become a scholarship in his name - there's more information about it at Beverley Kendall's website, along with the PayPal button if you'd like to donate:

My deepest sympathies go out to Jackie and her family right now. I can't even imagine their grief.
