I’m not sure if this is a good idea to post about this or not, but it’s been really bothering me alot lately. I miss her. Alot. Samhain was a big one. When I see peeps I smile, when I passed a container of pomagrants, when I was digging out my crochet snowflake patterns that we used to chat about. We were supposed to exchange patterens a year or so ago and never got around to it. Now we never will. I know there are others out there who actually got to meet her and know her in person. I know I can’t miss her half as much as her husband, children, Euty, and her family. But I can’t help but feeling like something is missing sometimes. I have been debating on starting this thread for a while, but I have a feeling there are a few other whose mind she crosses for no apparent reason at odd times. Anyone else want to share? Anyone know how the children are doing? ---

I miss Cristi too. I was digging through my LiveJournal archives a few days ago, looking for something, and I ran across one of her comments. It really hit me hard to see that. I still have her phone number in my cell phone and I still have her on my LJ friends list. I can’t bring myself to remove her from either. ---

I miss her too. We just touched base here and there, on email a few times and here on the boards the rest. But still…I miss knowing she’s here. She was good people, and she influenced me in ways she never knew. ---

She was very sweet person. My heart goes out to her family and loved ones. It takes a while to recover from the loss. I guess you never do. ---

I just did a board search on her. Now I’ve never even said one word to her–never known her–and I miss her. ☹ ---

Still have her on my lj friends list, on my AIM list and still have several of her emails to me. No plans for any of that to change. ---

I miss her too, and I think of her children frequently. They’ve been on my prayer list (yes, I actually have a written list) and because we haven’t heard - to my knowledge- anything about how they’re doing, I’m hesitant to take them off. I would like to know that they’re doing okay. ---

[This is still one of my favorite threads.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=59024&highlight=flame) I was still kind of new at the time and I was thrilled that she took my suggestions. ---

From what I gather, she was a board member that passed on? ---

Yes. Yes she was. My favourite was [this one](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=164517). I actually killed it and I was always sorry that I did. ---

> [@Kythereia](#): > > I just did a board search on her. > > Now I’ve never even said one word to her–never known her–and I miss her. ☹ I know what you mean, I had just joined when she passed, and I remember how all the people who knew her were reaching out to her family. I can’t really say I miss her, since I’ve never read a post by her, but it’s obvious she had a lot of friends here. ---

I miss her too. I wasn’t one of her closest friends by any means, but we’d seen a lot of each other here on the SDMB and LJ, I’d met her on several occasions, and she was someone I felt like I was gradually getting to know better. Her passing (this past March, for anyone who didn’t know) was too sudden and far too soon. ---

I still miss my college friend Joy, who died about 15 years ago. You never forget them or “get over it,” missing them just becomes part of the normal background hum of your life. ---

Thank you Cajunman. I really didn’t mean to make anyone upset, but it has been something that has been on my mind alot lately. Just little things. Euty I am glad to hear from you. I understand Eve is right. Sometimes it makes you stop and think for a minute. Sometimes it’s nice, warm and fuzzy, sometimes it make you feel sad and lonely. I guess at times it can do both. ☹ ---
