Sadly, the daughter of one of the most prominent members of this site wrote to a friend of hers here to let him and others know that VerenaBloo passed away last night. I have no more details right now, but am passing along the info to the many here who have known and appreciated her presence and her art.

edit: a partial quote from her daughter katsmeoww in her post below: "My mom was found peacefully asleep in front of her computer, with a beautiful photo of a purple flower on her screen. We do not have any details as of yet, but she appeared to have passed while resting."
