thank you for sharing this news, very sad as it is.  Although i did  
not know her personally, her work has influenced so many of us --  
including me -- that this is a devastating loss.  PLEASE KEEP us all  
informed as plans to honor her are underway.

Dear friends and colleagues:

I am quite sorrowful tonight, as I grieve the death of my friend,  
fellow ecofeminist philosopher, tireless feminist activist and  
defender of the nonhuman environment, courageous scholar, and leader  
in interconnected social justice movements and causes. I will miss her  
terribly.

Karen

P.S. Discussion of plans to commemorate Val at the October 18-20  
International Associaton for Environmental Philosophy (IAEP) Annual  
Conference in Pittsburgh, PA are underway already. Details will follow.
