board members passing away unexpectedly
i am sure you all have been on boards, where you find a online companion and enjoy the correspondence, respect their opinion and are excited when they post.
then out of the blue they stop posting, and you hear later that they passed away, that has happened several times. Unexpected heart attack, or someone who's quit posting because they are gravely ill.
my heart goes out to these folks, that we've spent time with
and shared our thoughts with. I always feel empty and sad but at least we know what happened to them.
today, i found out that one of my favorite posters on another board passed. What is odd. Is this person turned out to famous in real life.
It made me think of everyone who's posted here, and what they have contributed to this board, wisdom wise, as well as intellectually. You've made me think, i learned how to respect other with different opinions, and enjoyed your uniqueness.
i want to thank you for that experience. I figure i better tell you all while you are still alive, and still reading posts.
you are appreciated and enjoyed.
here is the obituary of a friend i have been corresponding with for over 15 years. While i knew he was special, i had no idea
that he contributed to some of my favorite mini series.
I think of everyone on this board, and i'm pretty sure they
have also lead a amazing life that has shaped their thinking, and taught them to reach out to others to share their ideas and opinions. I thank you.

Re: board members passing away unexpectedly
You are a mensch, snow!
quote: Mensch (Yiddish: מענטש mentsh, cognate with the German word Mensch meaning a "human being") means "a person of integrity and honor". The opposite of a "mensch" is an "unmensch", meaning an utterly unlikeable or unfriendly person.

Don't try to tell me the only way left is up.
There's always more down!
