We are sad to relate that Flash has recently passed away.  We are reposting the notice on MySpace from her family.

PASSING OF FLASH BATHORY

This is being written by Flashes family as Flash passed away on 3 September
2008 due to unspecified causes.  Alot of folks have been thinking that
either this is a rumor or a falsehood but alas I am writing this to verify
that unfortunately this is true.  Flash is no longer with us in body but her
spirit will always live in everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her.
She truly enriched the lives of those around her through her love of music
and her love of her family and friends.  CD sales at the present time are
being suspended as our family deals with this tragedy but her father has
stated that future sales of CD's will be available.  A memorial tribute is
being planned by many but at this time we cannot specify a date, city or
venue where this will be taking place.  We do not know how long we will be
able to edit this page to update her circle of myspace friends but we are
sure that the word will eventually get out to the masses through the network
of myspace friends who were closest to Flash.

As Alan Di Perna said in Guitar Legends Magazine:

" THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE LIKE A SHOOTING STAR.  They come and hit the
planet and explode into a beautiful rainbow of colors.  Then they shoot off
somewhere else. And that was the life of Randy Rhoads."

We could not express truer words about Flash than was already written about
Randy as we feel the same about her life.

She is jammin' with Randy now....
