Oh, no.
I can't think of anything to say that hasn't already been said by others and better. She will be sorely missed. My thoughts go out to her friends and family.
I'm trying my best not to cry at work. I'm thankful for having gotten to know her over the years through this board if never in person and trying to take comfort in that she is now free of the pain that plagued her for so long.
I emailed Betsy just now.
Most of you have never met me, and I mostly interact with Buffistas on fb, but ita and the board have been entwined in my brain and I am shocked by this news. My sympathies to those who met her, knew her, loved her, and my sympathies for the world in losing her.
JZ has Betsy's email and was going to contact her.
I have Betsy'e email address, I think. Nilly, I will send it to your profile addy.
Oh my God. No. I. What. This can't be. I never even met her. No. Just no.
Working from home means no one can see my tears. But it also means I'm alone with no one to distract me.
Fuck, fuck, fuck. Those spicy brains.
Betsy should be informed, Deb. Has anyone let het know yet?
Went to bed numb. Finally crying now. It's not fair. It's not fucking fair.
Oh God, it doesn't seem possible. I just can't make sense of a world without ita in, brightening all the lives she touches.
My heart goes out to her family and fellow friends.
Fuck. Haven't been around these parts for a while but saw the horrible news on FB.
I don't know if heaven exists but if it does, Natter will definitely be a part of ita's heaven so I'll say here that I met her once, was inspired by her at least a hundred times and in awe of her a thousand times or more. She was one of a kind in every sense and will be so very missed.
