Dear Laird,

My heart goes out to you, dear friend, on reading your blog about the loss of your son Ceilee. On the rare occasions you have spoken to me about your son, it has always been with love, hope and concern. Now the concern can be laid to rest, and the love and hope can shift to your grandchildren. And I can only imagine how cracked open your heart may feel. 

Sending you much love,

Margaret

Hello everyone,

It is with a heavy heart that I share sad news. Laird's son, Ceilee, has passed away at the age of 43. You can read more about it here: [On Ceilee Dying at 43](http://communityandconsensus.blogspot.com/2024/08/on-ceilee-dying-at-43.html).

Laird, who has given so much of himself to our community, is facing a painful loss. I invite you to send your love and support. Please consider leaving a comment on the blog or reaching out to Laird directly at laird [at] ic.org.

Let’s come together to give back to someone who has given so much for so long.

In community,
