So very sad

I was shocked to see the news on the Web this evening, so I went straight to the Digital Network to see if it was true, and found the site closed with a very sad message...
Douglas, you have brought so much joy to my life through your writing. I once met you at Dillons when you were signing copies of Mostly Harmless. I found you kind, gentle, a big presence. When I heard you would be interviewed on breakfast television a few months ago I knew it was a pleasure and I stayed home especially to watch you, you made me smile, and wonder what ground breaking ideas you would be pursuing next. Thank you so much, for the words, for the shared culture of all who love your work. Your ideas are everywhere, they have permeated our everyday lives. I am so glad you lived to see the Guide working over the Internet, and so sad because you have died so young.
You have been an irreplaceable creative influence on our culture.
My heart goes out to your family and friends at this sad time.
Caroline
