Honoring the WDC members who have passed away |
The world has lost a very generous soul. Lynda was sweet and funny, but it was her generosity of spirit that stands out the most in the memories of those who knew her. She loved to surprise people with both real and virtual gifts, and was often an anonymous benefactor behind the scenes. She didn't want gratitude, she just wanted to make people smile and lift their spirits. She was never the most tech-savvy person, but she always took the time to comment and respond, to say a few kind words or do whatever she could to make someone smile. She didn't like to complain, and often laughed off her own worries as trivial. She spent weeks in hospital, logging into Writing.com from her hospital bed, before letting anyone know that she was having any health issues at all. This was typical of her - she didn't want to spoil people's moods or inspire any negative emotions, she would rather make people smile. I know that while we can't help but shed a tear and grieve her passing, she'll be clucking her tongue at us and urging us to smile, to live, and to do good in the world. She will be sorely missed, and the Writing.com community has lost a true angel. ** Animated Images For Use By Premium+ Only ** |
