I had the idea I’d check up over here and see what’s going on. Now I know. Sigh. She was…She was an original. Bartender, a round for the house. ---

I have information about the memorial service for chique, which is this weekend. Please contact me off the board for details. Quoting from the obituary: “Memorials are preferred to Amnesty International, [Kiva.org](http://Kiva.org), Doctors Without Borders, or the charity of your choice.” ---

Well shit. I hate to bring up an old thread, but you’d think I would have read a stickie after two and a half years. Chique was great. A regular at the Minnesota Pork Dopes, she always made me smile. I’m bummed that I never made it up to the get togethers at her farm up north. You were awesome Chique. ---

> [@Alice\_The\_Goon](#): > > I hope that when I die, my memorial thread gets bumped for years afterward. Make it so, people! Happy to help! Just move a bit to the left and stand still so I can get a clean shot… Sorry if some people see this as disrespectful to the memory of my friend **chique** , but I come from a tradition where the joking starts at the wake. The drinking, too, but I already did that back in 2010. ---

Not to mention that if she were capable of posting from whatever afterlife she’s in (or not), she’d probably be the one posting the most tasteless and inappropriate jokes… ---

I never knew her personally, but I kept checking to see how she was doing when she was diagnosed with the cancer. I’m glad to see that people are still thinking about talking her years later. She handled a very unfair and horrible situation with a lot of strength, and she deserves to be remembered. ---
