I think that's very respectful and classy of Sideshow to make such a loss so public. Many companies, while should be in their best interest to do so, don't acknowledge this kind of thing. So to see it be done, and as well as they did it, shows a lot of integrity and compassion on their part.
As for the person, even if you don't know them (which is my case), it's still always sad to hear someone go, especially at such a young age. I wish the very best for her family, friends, and co-workers.
