Sue Richardson died

Jose Heraud just sent the sad message that Sue Richardson passed away yesterday around noon. It's not up to me to write an obituary - I have only known her by some nice correspondence with her - but I sincerely admired her extraordinary knowledge, art of writing and her friendliness.
