This morning I exchanged a couple of text messages with a friend.
She told me that a good friend of hers had passed away from lung cancer.
I wrote: "What is her name?"
She responded: "Was"..."Sarah".
I replied: "This is just my opinion, but I'm pretty sure her name is still Sarah."

My favorite English teacher once told me never to use passive voice in my writing. I have since applied that rule to my life.
