Good lord. Of all the rotten things that could happen…I am so, so sorry about this. 
Damnit! Poor Persephone…she’s missed already.
I didn’t know Persephone well enough to be able to call her a friend, but I knew her well enough to be sad that she’s gone. We met at 2 or 3 NYC get togethers, and I remember being struck at how friendly, outgoing, and fun she was. She was a genuinely nice person, and really brightened up the room. I’m truly sorry to hear of this tragedy.
My most sincere condolences to those of you who she called friends - especially you, Eutychus. I know how hard it is to lose somebody with whom you’re very close, and you and her family have my deepest sympathy.
The passing of somebody so young is always tragic, but it’s more so when it’s somebody as vibrant and cheerful as she was.
I didn’t know her, but her family and friends have my deepest sympathies.
I don’t think I ever interacted with her, but I read enough of her posts here to feel like I knew her in some way. I am very sorry that this happened. I certainly offer my deepest condolences to all who knew and loved her. I am sure that her friends and children will make sure her memory lives on.
Eve’s idea about collecting her posts in a format that her children can read someday is a fantastic idea. I am sure that a collection of her posts would be a priceless treasure for her children to have in the coming years. Let’s all make sure that gets done.
Living half a world away, I never had the opportunity to meet Persephone, but I remember reading her posts and enjoying them. My heart goes out to all those touched by her passing, especially her children, Tim and Eutychus.
God.
I did not know Cristi- I’m a bigtime lurker but only sometimes poster. As a result I feel like I know many of you in some ways from everyone’s different personalities and all the things we talk about on these boards.
What a tragic, tragic waste. To Euty, her family, friends, to anyone who was lucky enough to know and love her, I’m so incredibly sorry. There’s really no more to say than that.
<3 RIP Cristi <3
I’m so sorry. There are no words.
All I can say is
Damn!
So sorry to hear this – I was busy yesterday and missed it until late. One of the longest-time posters I encountered regularly on the Boards. Never met her, but I’ll miss her.
She once called me a god.
I don’t know about that, but I do know she was an angel.
She was one of the best friends I’ve ever had, or ever will have.
I will always love you, Cristi, my friend.
Always.
I’m so, so sorry.
My heart aches for Patrick, her children and all those who loved her.
I met Cristi at NYC Dope 2003 - she was all smiles and giggles, and just seemed to be one of those people you would instantly get along with. Even if I just barely recognized her from the boards, she knew who I was and greeted me with a warm hug.
I wish I knew what to say… What a tragedy, especially for Euty, the kids, and Tim… I wish there was something we could all collectively do to turn back the clock…
… but, no regrets, no what ifs, no if onlys. Only good memories of time shared and love given freely…
Let us know if there’s anything we can do,
Elly and everyone in the NoFair household
I’m so sorry. I never interacted with her on the boards or in real life, but this is still heartbreaking.
This is heartbreak beyond measure, and my deepest sympathies.
My condolences and sympathies to Persephone’s family, and her friends here on the SDMB.
I only knew her from occasional threads. She meant so much to so many people here; I’m sorry I didn’t know her better.
Falling back on the standard line… May the Presence comfort you along with all mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.
What a shame. We never met in person and only rarely interacted on the boards, but she was one of “my” Dopers: one of the ones whose name I remembered and whose posts I watched for – somebody who I thought of, when I thought of Dopers; somebody I would have loved to meet… She seemed a lovely person.
Damn.
My condolences to her family.
speechless
Farewell. I’ll miss you.
I am just so very sorry. She had such a beautiful heart.
Heaven gains another bright, brilliant star.
I never knew her except on the boards, but her love and delight in her children was very clear. She was only a few months older than I am. I can’t believe she’s gone.
I’m a little confused about something…is Euty Patrick?
My condolences to all of her family, friends, and everyone whose life she touched. From what I can tell, that could number in the millions.
