very sad news about genevieve

[dsound]

Geneviève died today at 1pm.
She was truly driven to work and stay living right up to the last minute, insisting on getting up and going to work in her studio way beyond when many would have surrendered to rest.
Last night and this morning she declined quickly and receded into her own eyes as her body vetoed her wishes, her lungs filling with fluid. She died at home with me and her parents holding her, hopefully having reached some last minute peace.
It's all very sad and surreal. So much is left unfinished for her. She was a firehose of brilliant ideas that never turned off.
We loved her and everything is weird now.
Thank you for all the money, all the support and love.
Phil

Really terrible news. My heart goes out to Phil, their daughter and Genevieve's family. I can't even imagine.

I haven't posted here in a long time and I've really posted shamefully little on my own Phil page but I'm always out here following along with him and this and my heart is just breaking and I don't know what to say. For anyone out there, in that huge universe, I wish there were words. I wish anything any of us could do or say would help or matter.

Unbelievably sad to hear...she was such a special person/artist. Woelv and O Paon on heavy rotation today.

You'll be missed, Genevieve.

I am still in complete disbelief about this. The complete and utter awfulness of it all. It is like losing a family member for me.
