**Ayesha** didn’t _have_ friends, she _made_ them. And, Lord, she could make good ones out of even the poorest, shoddiest materials. Her family now should enjoy the peace of mind that her courage has purchased, and someday should know the joy her humor and intellect has bought. I wish I had known her better.

Very sad news.

I don’t think I interacted much with **Ayesha** , and she probably doesn’t know me, but I remember her with a lot of fondness.

This is just awful! **Ayesha** is such a warm, wonderful person. I always enjoyed my interactions with her. Plus, we share a birthday. I’ll keep her, **LionSOB** and the rest of their family in my thoughts and prayers. ☹

Oh, no. I remember **Ayesha** from a HouDopefest a few years ago. Always there for anyone who needed a shoulder.

My thoughts and prayers are with **LionSOB** and the rest of the family.

That is terrible news. Ayesha was one of the good ones, and one of those ever-present posters here on the boards…

Keeping her and her family in our thoughts, here in the NoFair household.

Ayesha. That’s a name I haven’t heard for years, and it saddens me greatly to hear it again in this context.

Rest well. My thoughts go out to LionSOB.

That’s very very sad. ☹

She’s still a “Chater Member.” [This](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=6415360&postcount=96) appears to be her last post.

She.

She wraps herself in the mist of the  
night. Beautiful lady, her hair  
shimmering softly in the moon light.

She glides among the willow trees,  
slips through hanging vines with  
an unearthly ease.

She moves with the grace of a hind,  
her feet seem to fly beneath the  
starry night sky

She stops at the rivers edge, the  
night birds join her as she sings  
of a lovers broken pledge.

She steps into the river as the dawn  
creeps in, slips under the water, her  
song silenced until night comes again.

Damn. There are no words.

I just don’t know what to say.  
My heart goes out to her, her family and friends in hopes that they will be able to help each other through this.  
A wonderful person and a friend to so many. She gave me some good advice a few times and we shared storys about our mothers being so similar.

I certainly remeber \*\*Ayesha \*\*and **LionSOB** over many years of posting, and of her fight against Hep. C. I’m so sorry that she’s losing that fight, but glad she’s surrounded by those she loves.

My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family at this sad time.

Now I’ll never get the chance to have my mind bent by her spoon. Damn. Just damn.

How sad. I, too, had hoped she could beat the HepC. My heart goes out to her, **LionSOB** and all their family and friends. I hope she has a peaceful passing.
