Oh, no.

I know she had all the injuries from her accident as well as all the chronic stuff, but I thought she was doing better.

I'm very sorry to hear this.

RIP, InfoPri...

Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

Reprove not a scorner, lest they hate thee: rebuke the wise, and they will love thee.

Give instruction to the wise, and they will be yet wiser: teach the just, and they will increase in learning.

Oh no, just oh no.

How sad! Infopri was such a valued and valuable member of the Fora community.

RIP, Infopri.  So many good and interesting interactions.  I am so sorry to hear about this loss to our community as well.  My condolences to her close friends and family! And hugs all around here.  I think we need them.

Octoprof, I am so sorry.

We just lost our good friend. He was an MD, and one of our regular Thursday board game group. He was a larger than life figure, and his presence is terribly missed. He liked to attend Ren Faires as a pirate (I know :D) and when we were coming home from his funeral, we passed a really BIG pirate ship, all lit up with canons on our street. We both thought we were hallucinating, so we drove around the block for another look. It turns out that our new neighbors decided to go all out for Halloween and were putting up a REALLY big ghost pirate ship (the thing is seriously 10 feet tall by about 20 feet long, and is REALLY realistic- now I can't wait to meet them). It was just so fitting...

I'm so sorry, backatit, but I'm glad you saw a good sign. Those are going to be fun neighbors.
Welcome your cephalopod overlord.

Adding my sympathies on your loss, Backatit.  And I agree, it seems like a sign and a great one.  Those kinds of things provide a ray of hope even in times of such loss.

Oh, Octo, I am so sorry.  How heartbreaking this news is about Mr. Wonderful.

And my condolences also to backatit and everyone who knew Infopri.

I've been absent from these fora for a few weeks, but just logged in to do some PMs. My little brother (in his thirties) died in a motor vehicle accident very recently. I'm totally devastated and feeling like my life has lost its rudder. I haven't been sleeping effectively. And for a lot of reasons linked to the circumstances within which we grew up together (mostly familial abuse), I'm really angry with the world for the unfairness that his life ended well before it got to the good part.

I just needed to share that. Thanks.
