I know she hadn't posted here in ages (neither have I), but I saw on Facebook that she passed away last month. :( :(

RIP lady. At least I've got that Marlowe record.

No idea. Not much detail on her wall. She just missed her 41st birthday.

Such sad news. She was a very sweet soul. I'm very sad that I lost touch with her after leaving Montreal. Thanks to Obner for introducing me to Alex.

First time I met her she was spinning dub at a Montreal bar. I can't remember if that was the first time I met her, or if I already knew her through Obner...

I hate hearing about dead people especially people that I have come to know. It makes me feel old and vulnerable.

Good things can come from vulnerability. Maybe there's a nice way we can memorialize our friend pollysix.

I just remembered, I'll remember her for introducing me to the wonderful music of Paula Frazer. https://youtu.be/ybxJJCMY-o8
