Missing anyone?

I can think of Maddie (not sure if that was her DU name, but she passed in 2008)

1. That's right

I couldn't think of her name but I knew she was missing. She had an Amelie avatar and a truly great sense of humor.

4. Thanks for remembering her

We had a lot of back-and-forth during Hillary/Obama; including some really hilarious exchanges, which was pretty rare at the time...she was swell.

5. I don't think she ever knew it, but she touched me greatly

I had never really been exposed to a transgender person up until I joined DU. I learned a lot from her.

6. I miss her, too

She could touch you personally. And when you see how accomplished she was it just adds up to a terrible human loss.
