33. She was a rock star, a fucking monument to DU.

When I think of the fun we had on and off line, riffing on crazy things unrelated to DU, but then maybe related to DU.

Well, it makes me sad and it makes me happy.

I wouldn't have known her but for this board.

And I wish I had met her in this life.

I will see you in the afterlife, GFH!!!

HUGS!
