I’m so very sorry. I doubt I ever got to say/reply a single thing to her here ever (not that it isn’t good thing, given how bad my posts are). Can I at least send out to her a platonic long distance hug? I may be an ass, but I can do that much. ---

Lord, grant peace and rest to **Ayesha** , and comfort to those who love her. May she enter into the joy that has no end. ---

How sad. We only interacted a couple of times, but she seemed like a fine lady. What a sad loss to our community, and a sadder loss to her family. ---

I have not known **Ayesha**. I think it would be appropriate to this thread for those who do to link a post that they particularly liked, so someone like me could come to know and love her as you apparently do. If I am off-base, please ignore. ---

Godspeed, **Ayesha**. May you rest in eternal peace. My thoughts and prayers to you as well **LionSOB** and your family. Your loss runs deep in our little community, we can’t even begin to understand what you are going through now. May you all have a peaceful journey ahead of you. ---

All the comforts we have to offer are soft words. It seems so little. I wish I had more to offer… ☹ ---

I never got to meet **Ayesha** , but from the descriptions other Dopers give of her, and what little I’ve read of her writing, she sounds like someone I would’ve been happy to meet. My prayers go out to her family. ---

What a great loss. I feel lucky to have interacted with Ayesha, a truly kind person, on many occasions. She was one of my “birthday twins” - our annual threads will be a little bit sadder and smaller from now on. My deepest condolences to her family. ---

I’ve lost a lot of friends and family to heart disease and cancers, but Hep C is gaining ground on those two. Farewell, **Ayesha**. ☹ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ayesha-is-dying/417029.md?page=4) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ayesha-is-dying/417029.md?page=6)
