So...a customer of mine died recently, it turns out. I'm really quite saddened by it. She was a very sweet older lady, she always had a smile, and she always liked to joke and chat. She was one of the really nice customers that take the time to learn how to run the machines a bit and then, when they see others having trouble, take time from their own work to help others.
She died of pancreatic cancer.
Her daughter came in to make copies of pictures for her memorial service. I got to see pictures of this sweet lady as she was near the end. She was horribly jaundiced and was very clearly very sick.

There is one fewer honestly good person gone from this world, and that's a damn shame. There is far too few.
