details.. she was diagnosed with cancer about 2 years ago and it finally won on the 12th. The celebration was yesterday at the Oddfellows Hall in Ballard. As Sam was fond of saying she didn't want a bunch of people upset nor something so very stale and sufficating as a memmorial. She wanted a party of friends and family. I miss her Blacky, I miss her very much. One of the very few people who could get past the Mage Raistlin persona, and even more so one of the few people I looked up to. She really got me into the whole girl gaming and that it was okay for a girl to play with swords... boffers at the time and it was something I was good at. I suck at being a girly girl and she made it okay to be myself and be respected for me and not for someone else's idea on what I should be. heh sobbing again.. she knew I hated to cry and would do anything I could to avoid it... ah well off to find a box of tissues.

I haven't even heard from her in a couple of years... Back when I was still physically active and running the boffer clan, she expressed interest, but things happened and it never got followed up on... I've wondered sometimes what became of her, and, I guess, now I know... It's better to regret something you have done, than something you haven't... You knew her better than I, and I regret not having got to know her better than just bbs chats and such... Feel better, think of her happy fun stuff and good times... It'll make you cry, most likely, but it will be the cry of fond memories... Considering the list of good friends I've had die in the last couple years, I've been trying to practice that advice myself, and it does help... /Hug & Sm00ch
