I’m sorry for your loss, **King**. If it’s any consolation, the way you speak of her character indicates that you and her mother did a magnificent job of raising her into the woman she became. ---

> [@The\_King\_of\_Soup](#): > > Her name was Virginia, and she was my daughter. She was 22, was going to be a theater designer, and she loved reading, drawing, spicy food, and a nice boy named Will. If this could go in the Memoriam column, I’d appreciate it. My Heartfelt condolences to you and your family for your loss. One afternoon my 21 year old daugther was on her way to work , a drunk driver ran her off the road . She died instantly . ---

To answer the ATMB issue, yes of course, you may post this here. And with that, while this is neither mundane nor pointless, that is the forum where memorial threads go. Moving threads from ATMB to MPSIMS. I’m very sorry for your loss. ---

**King** , I know what you are going through. Just over a year ago a truck struck my father while he was on his motorcycle, and our family lost him. For a while it doesn’t seem real, you should be able to call them when you think of something to tell them. She had a lovely name, Virginia, and was obviously a lovely woman. I’m so sorry for you and your family. It doesn’t matter that you’ve been gone for a while, we will listen.
