Honoring the WDC members who have passed away |
I first met hbar through "Invalid Item" , where I am a member and leader. He was one of the very first members to join, and his reviews were steady and growing in fame. He was close to SAJ's founder, warriormom, and her praise of this extraordinary man was not exaggerated, I was to discover upon meeting him. He never lacked a joke, a thank you or a teasing comment, and we exchanged a lot of crazy emails. :-[ I always get a smile looking back through them. I wish I could have met him in real life. The news of his death really hit me hard, harder than I could have imagined... John, your emails always gave me a laugh, and your reviews were so encouraging and helpful. I loved your honesty and humour, and working alongside you was always lots of fun. I was especially touched by your courage during your struggles. You hardly ever mentioned it, as if unwilling to let your friends suffer what you felt. We all carry burdens of our own, now, dealing with your loss. I will miss you so much. Rest in peace, old friend. I know that heaven is a brighter place with you around. ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** "P.E.N.C.I.L." | "Shadows and Light Poetry Contest" "Invalid Item" | "The Flea Bank" |
