Sundae

[Gravdigr]

That's our girl.

I didn't want to put RIP as the Cellar tag line. I don't know what to do. I didn't even change the tag line for a while because I didn't want to put that.

So I just... went into the tag lines thread and found the ones she suggested, right? Maybe that's what you do?

they were all so witty and on point, so her

and now I'm bawling again.

It's a good tribute. I like it.

[fargon]

She called a couple of times, and I called her a couple of times. she was always so pleasant and upbeat. I've got her cards, and our Christmas present on display. She really was Amazing People. I never saw a pic of her when she didn't have a big bright smile for all to see. I'm going to go and cry now.

[elSicomoro]

I didn't even know her real name until I got her Xmas card this year. She had sent me a card for my first wedding, and I couldn't read her handwriting, God love her.

Every time I look at my wallet ninja, I'll always be reminded of her...including when I get hauled off by TSA for forgetting to leave it at home.

Tell me her real first name please. She would cut up with this noob just like she knew me forever. I miss her so much.

Her name is Cheryl, but in my heart she will always be Sundae Girl.

Some people from Cellar call me Syc on FB...it probably confuses the shit out of my other friends.

Yes, definitely.

Me too. I'm probably being ridiculous with this, but I can't seem to get past the denial. I still expect to see her posts.

Sounds better than elSi.

I don't know what to say. Sundae represented the very best qualities of an internet community citizen. It's a serious loss, like losing a family member.

And when a family/community loses a member, one of the social functions of having a funeral is for the friends and family to get together, maybe people that haven’t conversed or been very close for a long time, and catch up on each others’ lives. It’s too bad that it takes a death to bring people together, and maybe they should have done it sooner, but it is a positive that comes out of the loss, and maybe we could do something like that.

If I never said it before, many of you have been an important part of my life, and I’m better for having known you. People like Sundae, from a part of the world I’ve never been to, and would have had no reason to know, if not for the magic of the internet, and the people who have put forth the effort to create and maintain internet communities like The Cellar. I don’t make many serious or personal comments, but I’m sending my love to you all, and I’ve gotten a little teary-eyed at my desk while typing this.

YES, exactly.

Maybe this would help with the closure... maybe this is what I am missing.

And I you. I often think about being wealthy enough to travel all over the world and visit my cellar friends... maybe one day.

She was real. Because she was honest and shared her life as it really was. Not just the triumphs. Same like Brianna. Dwellers like her are family because they shared all of it. Some folks on here only share the winning. Some only share the losing. Chrisinhouston, orthodoc.

Whatever. It's fine. Share as much as you are moved to share. You get out what you put in. Cherry had dreams about the cellar. So much so that she made a thread about it. I was in them in the beginning. Not so much as my involvement waned. We were family to her, clearly.

Aw fuck

Fuck

Eventually, we're all going to die off. Let me just say that right now, today.... I love my family. My kids, my parents, my siblings, my imaginary cellar friends, my meat space friends. Be excellent to each other

[Undertoad]

From now til the end of the year I'll put up a different Sundae tagline every day.

[Gravdigr]

Sundae was the first person I called friend that I'd never met.

I don't do that easily.
