    "comment": "A request from Sheli:\nIn the early 2000's, I met one of the coolest, funniest, smartest, most artistically talented people I have ever known. Her name was Vernia, and I thought the world of her. In 2008, she suffered from a psychotic break that nearly destroyed her. She lost many friends, lost her beautiful home that she had bought, lost her job, was violently assaulted by the police, spent time in jail, and worse that she never talked about. She would learn that she had a very severe form of Bipolar I, got medicated, and proceeded to build her life again. She went back to school and got a teaching degree, made wonderful new friends, and seemed to be doing so well--until she wasn't.\nThis cycle of destruction and rebuilding continued for many years and, each time there was a manic episode, we would fear for her life because of the terrible, dangerous things that she would do. In June of this year, our worst fears were realized when Vernia was murdered in her home.\nVernia suffered so much in her life, yet when she was well, she brought so much laughter, joy, and beauty to the world. Would you please play Heaven by the Talking Heads in her honor? I hope that wherever she is, she only knows peace after so many horrors.",
