Darcy Egan, a former bookseller at Loganberry Books, Shaker Heights, Ohio, died recently. In a moving tribute on the bookstore's Facebook page, owner Harriett Logan wrote: "We lost one of our Loganberry family last week. Darcy Egan was a bookseller here 2013-2015, while pursuing her Masters degree in English at John Carroll University. She left us to pursue a career teaching English.
"During her time at Loganberry, Darcy was instrumental in tackling the task of shifting our data to a new inventory management system. She almost single-handedly catalogued the LitArts room (if you've been here, you'll understand how mind-boggling that is). She also created our monthly poetry open mic, Broadsides & Ephemera, which is still running strong.
"She was diagnosed with colon cancer at age 25. She fought valiantly for more than two years, and never lost her smile, nor her red lipstick. The annual fundraising 5k for colorectal cancer, fondly named the UndyRun, is this Saturday 09/29. You are welcome to join us in fundraising to find a cure for colon cancer, and to honor Darcy. Thanks. Peace."
