> [@Larry\_Mudd](#): > > … this has hit me hard as a '99er. Same. I knew **Guinastasia** was younger than most of us here. And I know she has posted recently, so there was no protracted board absence to let on that anything was amiss. Way, way too young. Sorry to learn of her passing. RIP ---

For me this hits as one of those deaths where my first reaction is “are you sure?” and my second is “this is a bad joke, right?”. Terrible news. My condolences to her family and friends. Thank you to the OP for bringing us this news. ---
