Rest in peace, Kim

[nelladarren]

I've just learned on Facebook that kimbari has died of a heart attack.

Kim was the mom of my Livejournal BSG fandom and even though we never met in real life she was one of few people I only knew online who I really felt close to.

I can't say anything else right now as I have to do some crying.

Rest in peace, Kim.

Oh.

I miss her already.

I,m sorry for your loss. *hugs*

Isn't it amazing how deep the connections with online friends through words/writing only can be...

Thanks for letting me know, hon.
I haven't been on LJ in ages and would have missed the news.

Made a posting in my journal for those who knew her but are not following you.
It's hard to read the news just like that, but there is no other way.

*hugs*

You think it would be possible/allowed for you to copy Rich's entire Facebook post to LJ?

[nelladarren]

There isn't much he wrote, this is what he replied to one of Kim's last posts about an upcoming MRI (they suspected she might have had a stroke...):

"This is her husband, Rich and I thought I would let everyone that Kim had a massive heart attack Thurs morning and was never revived. She was my best friend for the last 12 yrs so I miss her dearly."

And then the post yesterday that made me go WHAT?!:

"Kimberley's services will be held tomorrow at St Ann's Church in Lansing . The viewing will be from 9-10:30 with mass thereafter. Rich Cote-spouse"

There are lots of people using her Facebook account for last goodbyes to her and condolence wishes for her family. I don't know if it's public, though, at www.facebook.com/kimbari.

Hugs.

Thanks. Much appreciated.

Stumbling on that second post is mind boggling.
*hugs*

Unfortunately the Facebook page gives an error. Not available. Maybe Rich took it offline.

Heaven isn't the swell place it always was depicted to be:
Not even intenet access! I wouldn't consider booking a hotel if it lacked wifi. It's like water and air.

We badly need Heaven 2.0 ;-)

I am so very sorry.

Tough thing to happen. Many hugs for you.
