The Crystal Singer trilogy is a personal favorite that my wife introduced me to. I've also enjoyed most of the Ship series (The Ship Who Sang has many sequels, or just other stories told in the same universe about similar people). I liked the Pern books as well, but never got into them quite as much. I think I saw that she has some family carrying on some of series. She'll be missed by many. I may have to go pull out my Crystal Singer trilogy in remembrance (which, appropriately enough, is a theme of the series -- remembering).
