Cathy Wappel. Fare thee well.

To those of you who knew the Wappels, you would have met Cathy.
She was a wonderful person and a treat to talk with. Need painting help? She was there. Want to chat about gaming? There too. Go by Fort Wappel at a convention? Always happy to say hi. Or she may even have been out and about at conventions between events rubbing elbows with other folks. She and Jim were a pair of talented artists who were friendly, approachable and down to earth.

As some of you may know, Cathy was diagnosed with cancer a while back. It was knocked into remission and almost was entirely gone. Then it came back with a vengeance. Cathy lost her fight to this insidious disease not too long ago. Nothing will be able to replace her enthusiasm, friendliness and advice.

As one might guess, the salary and benefits of being a free lance tabletop artist isn’t as expansive as one might think. Nor does it come with super great insurance. So a GoFundMe has been set up to help out Jim in dealing with the costs. So if you can, please, make a donation.

Thanks for reading this and helping in anyway you can.
