Sorry to hear this.
For long time posters who have contributed a lot to the board it is common to set up/contribute to a memorial. Is anyone looking into this?
Oh man, I’m sorry to read this. She is one of my favorite posters!
Tripler
Her light and warmth will never fade…
I’m so sorry to hear of her passing. May she rest in peace.
Does anyone have a link to an obituary? I just looked her up, and she hadn’t posted here in almost 2 years.
RIP.
hello, i’m her daughter. i was planning on making an announcement/memorial post here and i was feeling bad about how long it was taking me, so it’s a relief to see that the facebook update managed to reach you guys. i don’t know what the etiquette is for these things on this forum. i would imagine i should make my own thread? any tips would be appreciated. her service is tomorrow, starting at 11 am pacific standard time, and it will be live-streamed on youtube for everyone who cares for her and can’t be there in person. there will also be an archive of the stream afterwards. her sister and i would like to share the link, but i don’t know if that’s allowed on this forum? thank you all so much for being her friends. you were appreciated more than you know.
What is the Youtube url?
Hi @Beamette I’m so very sorry for your loss. I let the moderators know about your request so they can help you with this sort of thing.
@Beamette, as a moderator of this forum, I don’t think there’s any rule that would preclude you sharing a link. Please provide it here. If there’s a problem – and again, I don’t believe there is – we can always take it down.
Thanks for checking first, and please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your mother, who was, as you can see, a cherished member of our community. My very best to you and all your family.
So sorry @Beamette. Sunny was well loved here.
thank you guys for your help and sympathy :’) i am glad to see that she was so loved. here is the link.

this loss came entirely out of the blue. to her and our knowledge, none of her conditions were life threatening. she had made plans with us for the following weekend and we were looking forward to them. we are all devastated.
someone mentioned setting up a memorial. would that be a separate thread, or something else?
I think this thread serves well as a memorial thread for your mom, unless you are thinking of something else. Many have shared their thoughts about her here. If you have something different in mind, please privately message the moderators by clicking on your avatar in the upper right hand side of your screen, go to Personal Messages and address it to “moderators”. We will then all have an opportunity to review what you propose.
If you just want posters to continue to share their memories and condolences, then I think this thread is great for that.
okay, thank you! i didn’t have something else in mind.
since it’s been a while since she posted here, i thought maybe i would share some life updates. she and my dad separated last year (for the best!!!), and she moved back to oregon with my brother and the animals. she loved being there and messaged me frequently with pictures of the backyard. she told me how happy she was to be spending more time with my brother, and she loved to hear him playing dnd with his friends from down the hall. she spent a lot of time on the couch with the animals, and over the winter enjoyed the house’s fireplace. i visited her last summer, and she visited us around thanksgiving. that last visit, i was late for one of my classes because i went with her to an animal shelter that she really liked to pick out kittens for her birthday :). their names are phoebe and iris, and they made her very very happy. she had started going to counseling with my father. i was very proud of her, and i was excited for the rest of her life. i will always feel so lucky to have had her as my mother. it is a terrible loss for everyone who knew her.
Thank you so much for sharing, and my deepest condolences for your loss. I interacted with her multiple times, on this board and in emails, and she was always a very decent and caring person. Best wishes to your family.
Thank you for sharing. My best wishes to you and your family. I feel lucky to have known her, even in a limited way.
Thank you for that little update. I’m glad she was happy and continuing to move her life forward, and that the end, as painful a surprise as it was, wasn’t the result of a long period of pain and suffering.
As always, don’t forget to take care of yourself and the rest of the family while grieving.
