So young too.
A while back, ...So very sad indeed. So young too.<br /><br />A while back, I wrote that HNT was a cybercommunity that in many ways acted as any bone-and-flesh meatspace would. The fact that you got to meet her in person, Os, perhaps demonstrates the fact that those two spheres of social interaction are far from inseparable. I can feel the sense of loss and pain in your post here, and in the thoughtful comments that follow.<br /><br />My best wishes are of course with her and her family. They're also with you and others of her cyberfamily.X.

She was just too beautiful a soul to stay in this shithole world any longer. I will always love her. And I will miss her so much until the day I see her again...

She went through hell on earth, I can only hope that whatever took her came fast and painless and I pray that wherever she is now is a safer and more peaceful place. She was tough as nails but as fragile as a butterfly's wings. Rest well Stealth, godspeed and goddess embrace you.

She had her problems, just like we all do. Actually some of her's were much more difficult than the average person could stand, but she was very strong. <br /><br />I was very lucky to have met Melanie on her way through Colorado a few years ago. I got to spend a lot of time with her that week, and I feel privileged to have known her. <br /><br />Now I need to put a play list together of all the music she introduced me to, and go through some pictures we took.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05379780478815310735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10269004.post-62644999904017811052011-05-16T20:52:58.608-06:002011-05-16T20:52:58.608-06:00Reading this makes me so very sad.
