Richard,

Like you I met Laila on line and corresponded with her on various matters. We did not limit ourselves to food and politics – I discovered that she had an Australian angle as well with her mother-in-law having written a book about Australian Indigenous issues. She took a great deal of interest in Kevin Rudd’s apology to the stolen generation.

As editor of the Australian Jewish Democratic Society Newsletter I thought that her Generation Funny name http://bedouina.typepad.com/doves_eye/2008/11/generation-funny-name.html summed up the issue of people like her and Barack Hussein Obama so well that I used it as a key article in the post-election issue. I strongly recommend it.

Yeay zichrona Baruch [May her memory be blessed]

Leila had the rare ability to make room for everything that is true and still have hope and belief in humanity.

The void she leaves in the I/P blogging world is immense!

  “May her soul rest in the heavens”
  
  She would like that thought. I’d like to think of her spirit scattered like small stars across the skies.
  
  Thanks.

I never met Laila f2f, but considered her always to be a sweet and inspiring soul.

Even to hear of others appreciating her voice, even in this short time after her death, is confirmation of a life that is more than just passing.

You know, she always seemed so inspiring and… well, just a beautiful human being.

Even her presence on the web sufficed to prove just that.
