Anita Rowland, friend, old-school blogger and a founding and supporting member of the Seattle blog community, has died of cancer. Her husband Jack has set up a page for condolences and memories.

L and I have known Anita since the early weblog days. We drove out to Ellensburg together to watch a meteor shower. Anita and I went to Ikea together, I forget why. We went to Anita and Jack's wedding. We haven't seen Anita or Jack in a while—Anita never got to meet our kids, I don't think. Anita, we'll miss you.
