Oh no. ☹ I never knew you all that well, **chique** , but I’ll remember you and miss seeing you post here. ---

If they get her laptop and wireless access to her in hospice, I _know_ she’ll be in here chiding us all for mourning her before she’s gone, heehee. Friends who are also in MN are going up to see her tonight; I guess she’s being moved into the hospice this weekend. They’ll be passing along the prayers and well-wishes from the rest of us. ---

Good thoughts and vibes going out to **chique**. And though I’m as skeptical as the next doper about stuff like this, it can’t hurt, so a [spin of the prayer wheel from me](http://www.manikorlo.org/index.php), too. ---

Damn! I was afraid and expectant that this is what it would come to, and yet, hopeful that it wouldn’t. ☹ Please be at peace, **chique**! ---

I don’t recall ever interacting with her, although of course it’s possible that I did, but I do want to send my wishes to her for comfort and peace. ---

I just posted to **chique** ’s LJ account. I was hoping this thread would never have to be posted, but here it is. I hope you are comfortable and surrounded by those who love you, **chique**. ---

I’ve met **chique** , and she’s a sweetheart IRL, too. I wish there was something I could say or do that would help. Damn. ---

**Elenfair** and I, with baby Eleanor and aussie Zap in tow, went up to the farm last night to see **chique** before she’s moved into hospice care (which is happening right about now). She was happy to see us but was more determined to make sure we took a tour of the renovated farmhouse. Good to see her priorities are right. Hard to believe that it was nearly nine years ago that I had gone up there for a dopefest - trying to recall names; **Silver Fire** , **imthjckaz** and **Spider Woman** were there I think. Well, and the baby calf that glommed onto my finger and wouldn’t let go. Shit, has it been that long? She’s doing about as well as can be expected, but it sucks. It sucks a lot and it’s not fair and she’s too young. ---

That’s awful to hear, I was thinking about that thread just the other day, in one of my periodic attempts to explain this place to one of my non-dope friends. I wish you peace **chique**.
