> No, the police were looking after that. Part of the problem, though, was that none of her family was local–they were all overseas (she was originally from the UK). The police had contacted them, and apparently, they are on their way. But they were also contacting anybody she knew locally.

Oh, that’s good. I had a friend pass away 3 years ago (almost to the day) and another friend had to take on that role after being contacted (last person in the cell phone), which was pretty awful.

Anyhow, thank you for letting us know.

I remember the name, but haven’t been here long enough to interact with her much. She seemed very nice, and, just going by that and her pic, I suspect we would have gotten along quite well.

RIP, King Bobo. Hope you’re travelling a new land with a rucksack and a smile.

I dont think I interacted with her, but looking at her posting history she seems like she was a sweet lady. I’m sorry that I won’t get the chance to get to know her better.
