India Castle was a young woman I’ve known for many years, back from my old library days.

I fear that now, since her tragic death, her name will always be followed with mentions of drug overdose and meth houses.

I just want to state, for the record, that India was much more than that. She was a delightful, inquisitive, talented, kind-hearted, beautiful young woman who was a complete joy to be around.

I mourn her loss and miss her with all my heart.
