Logan student Zoe Inciong died peacefully this morning of Ewing's Sarcoma, a rare cancer. She had just celebrated her 16th birthday on Sunday.

In an online message to supporters, Zoe's mother, Maria Inciong, said, "In the most graceful and peaceful fashion, Zoe took her last breath at 12:05am this morning with Randy and me in the room with her."

Last September, Zoe was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma, a rare form of cancer. In a message to supporters on June 15, Zoe's mother reported that: "Zoe's cancer has spread beyond what we anticipated. Zoe now has tumors in both her lungs, her liver, her spleen, the base of her skull, the mandible, and almost every bone of her vertebrae."

From wikipedia:
Mary Walcott (July 5, 1675 – after 1719) was one of the witnesses at the Salem Witch Trials of Salem, Massachusetts in the years 1692 and 1693.

She was the daughter of Captain Jonathan Walcott (1639-1699), and his wife Mary Sibley (1644-1683), both of Salem, and was about seventeen years old when the allegations started in 1692. Her aunt, Mary Woodrow, the wife of Samuel Sibley (1657-1708), was the person who first showed Tituba and her husband John Indian how to bake a witch cake to feed to a dog in order that she and her friends might ascertain exactly who it was that was afflicting them.
