Taylor and Danny, I'm so very sorry.

God damn, God Damn, God Damn!

I was really worried when she started to post about going to bed with both alcohol and tranquilizers. I sent her a pm begging her to reach out for help to AA or somebody, ANYBODY! She never replied.

This is such terrible, sad news.

I've got Sundae's number, I think. Anyone willing to make the call PM me ASAP. I'm old and fading fast.

I am so sorry. Our deepest condolences.

This is so horribly sad.

This is such terrible news. Taylor and Danny - thank you so much for letting us know and my thoughts are with you as you try to come to terms with your loss. Your mum was a truly lovely person, and a great friend. She will be remembered with love by all who knew her.

I have broken the news to Sundae on the phone.

Got up this morning and still can't believe it.

I loved her so much.
My last PM from her was re her birthday card:

I didn't reply.
But I did speak to her last Friday.
She called on Thursday - when I was in London with Mum - and talked to Dad. He said they had a lovely chat. Which must have been mostly Bri, Dad being a bit deaf and confused by accents - although she had a lovely speaking voice.

I called her back Friday and she told me she'd had to give her new puppy back. She cried, but we were able to laugh. She said she was so proud of me for losing weight and we talked seriously about the problems both of us have with alcohol. She was always my confidant and cheerleader.

She was the best friend I never met.
We had so much we'd dreamed of, what we planned to do.
I cannot take in that she is dead. I can't comprehend that I will never be able to PM her about victories and failures again. That I will never be able to call her and chat for as long as a free call lasts. That Mum will never come up the stairs mouthing ("American?")

That I will never meet her.

I can't take it in, but I know there is a lot of grieving and crying to come.

Damn. What do you say? I'm completely blown away by this. I pray she is at peace now.

I'm stunned. Fuck.

I am very saddened to hear this news. My condolences to Taylor and Danny as well as to our community here in the Cellar.

Crying

the infinite monkey told me about this...
 

...awful news.

I had some minor communication with T a little while back...she was nice.

This a loss for all concerned.

Dammit. Like Sarge, I just don't know what to say.

Hate that anyone's family has to go through this.

:blackr:

I loved her because she was honest.
I loved her because she was imperfect.
I loved her because she was unguarded.
I loved her because she sometimes failed.
I loved her because she shared.
I loved her because she wanted to be better.
I loved her because she was childlike.
I loved her because she was real.

nice
