I feel bad for not knowing about norinew – one of the things I did to save money was cut the Internet from my house and just use it at the library. So for a year I wasn’t online much at all - and then the Dope gave me that “you’ve been denied access” once when I did try to log on. Wow, still blown away. ---

Check the [In Memoriam](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=510802) thread. ☹ I’m still very glad that things are better for all of you. ---

My clue was when I came across my own post higher up in the thread. **fessie** , wow! Good for you! I’m so glad that things are so much better for you now! I think about **norinew** sometimes and feel bad that the world has one less sweet, kind lady in it. You know what? It truly goes to show – life is too short to stay in broken situations. You need to find your own true way, because there’s no promise that any of us will be here tomorrow. ---

But Norine (norinew) and Paul (DWC) were people I had spent a fair amount of time with at Doper gatherings over the years. It’s still hard to believe I’ll never see either one of them again. ---

Thanks for updating us, **fessie**. I’m so glad to hear you’re in a better place now. (Sounds like the kids are, too.) I’m a bit choked up now for some reason, though… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ahh-dopers-sad-day-for-fessie/518922.md?page=2)
