I didn't know her. I'm mostly a lurker. I feel like I've missed out.

You did miss out on knowing her. She was unhappy at times, but for the most part she was a very friendly person with few bad words to say about anybody.

I was looking through my thread subs etc, and this came up.
Geez...as an oldskooler, it really takes you back and hits with how tightly knit we all were back then...and so many names here talking about this "family" tragedy...it was so long ago now, and some, most, have moved on.
This place is largely had a whole new membership come in since, those that stay kinda become the parents, or like, weird uncles at least...and things are good now too. Still do kind of very fondly think back to these times, and even when something like this smashed the place, we came together.
Just, yeah...I don't know. Don't know why I'm even posting this.
Don't know who will ever read what, but I hope each and every old name I see here is doing well, wherever they are.
Gah. This was so long ago.

I know exactly how you feel.

You're not kidding....
