_sigh_ - I knew it was coming, but it is still awful how sudden it all seems. RIP Nate/JC. I always appreciated how much effort he poured into this place. He cared and it showed. ---

::waves:: … shit. I just went and looked at your posts, hoping for some hint of stuff because I don’t remember a robby (my children have eaten my brain and replaced it with mess), and now I know that Jenny died too. sfgjlglsfdjglsdfjgdlfkgj no more dying now! I mean it! ---

I’ve hung back from offering my condolences in this thread because I didn’t know Jonathan/Nate at all, and I doubt he was aware of my presence on the board. But I will miss him. He was a big part of this place, a steady presence here. It is a big loss to us all. I am especially sorry for your loss, @Lucretia. May your wonderful memories soothe you in the future and bring you gentle peace. ---

If anyone would like to donate in Nate’s memory, please do so to the two Democratic candidates in Georgia’s run off elections. Let’s complete what Nate started ---

I have made a donation to both [Jon Ossoff](https://electjon.com/) and [Reverend Raphael Warnock](https://warnockforgeorgia.com/). Sadly there was no way to make it in Nate’s memory but it was done with his spirit in mind (I’m on that side too so happy to do it). Again, sincerest condolences. ---
