Greetings everyone. This is Formica's Husband. I needed to let you all know that Formica Linoleum, whose real name is Jennifer Whitehouse, is no longer with us. She is leaving behind a precious, beautiful baby boy named Gideon who turns 1 on the 11th of October. You all know how special she was and if any of you who knew her wanted to give remembrance, her family would appreciate it. We will be setting up a donation page, all the proceeds will be going to a fund for her son. I apologize for having to bring such sad news to this wonderful community. Also, I don't know if any of you have any plans on seeing Jimmy while he is touring but I am sure that you are aware that he has been her favorite musician for well over the last decade and has been to more than 20 shows in not only the Atlanta area but in new Jersey and New York as well. She was looking forward to the next Atlanta show, and as hard as it will be for me to go alone, I shall be there. I don't know if anyone wishes to pass the news on to Jimmy and the rest of the guys for me but it would mean a lot to her if you could,
Thank you all very much for being a part of her life.

Allen, I am so very sorry to hear about this. Please accept my sympathies and condolences to you and your loved ones.
When you're up to it, please PM me. I had some business with Jennifer that I need to talk with you about. No rush! Just whenever you feel up to it.

Thank you for the well wishes. I saw Jennifer off on her last journey today and that's an image I'll never lose, though I know there will be times when I will want to. Our memorial for her is tomorrow and from there comes the long process of putting mine and Gideon's lives back together. Again, anyone who wishes to make a donation to Gideon's future may do so at
http://www.deaf-insight.com and for those who have business to attend with me regarding the site will be contacted in due time. Thank you.
