In memoriam

[gillo]

ETA: I am making this open to everyone, not just my flist, so if you know someone who was a friend of hers, feel free to point them here. The same will apply to FB people.

This was published on FB by Lisa McLeod, and I share it here with her permission. tx_cronopio was a lovely human being, vibrant, caring, intelligent. All of us who knew her have lost

Oh how heartbreaking. I wish I had known her well. We crossed paths in fandom here and there, but I never got to experience the extraordinary woman I now know her to be. My heart goes out to her friends, because their pain must be immense. Fuck COVID.

Totally agree. I exchanged a lot of comments here and there and we were also friends on FB, where she had her own page. She was fearless in calling out right-wing jerks, which says a lot about a woman living in that state. I miss her a lot.

You know, I've been thinking about her all morning and wondering if she did indeed pass away.

Thanks so much for posting this, I miss her all the time. We had many good laughs together.

She was just a delightful, honest, sincere woman. With a wicked sense of humour. When her friend posted this yesterday I felt I needed to share, but waited for permission.

Oh no! We often chatted back in the day on LJ and this just breaks my heart! She was so kind and funny and amazing. 😭😭😭

[gillo]

She really was. Bloody Covid.

I heard that she passed. How very sad.

Thanks for posting this, Gill.

[gillo]

I was touched by what Lisa wrote and was confident folks here would want to know.

[desdemonaspace]

It was perfect. I hope someone Memorializes her LJ.

[gillo]

I'm not sure how one goes about it, but it would be a good idea.

Thank you for posting this... I knew what had happened, mostly because I'd realized a few months ago that I hadn't heard from her in awhile and started asking around some of our mutual friends. I'm very sorry that she and I never ended up having the chance to meet in person (we had tried a few times, to work something out, when I was down in Texas... but we were never able to coordinate a meet up) and I'm also very sorry I missed the chance to send her a letter while she was in hospice. She is already missed so much.

It's extremely sad. She was the absolute epitome of a feisty woman. The world is poorer without her.
