I really wish I had the opportunity to meet her in real life. She was an inspiration and had a very beautiful soul. I'll definitely miss her!
That is beyond beautiful, Rogal. Absolutely excellent. So perfectly stated. How we all should do our best to think of it, for all those who part before we do. Is it yours? Please include this in the tribute and memoirs that are being collected for Leandra. It's the best said of all, imo. I do believe Leandra would have loved it."Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Everything remains as it was.
The old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no sorrow in your tone.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting, when we meet again."
R.I.P. Leandra.
You will be missed.
I just got the word ... she will be sorely missed by me. A good friend and fun person to be with.Carolyn Grismore, also known on these forums as Leandra, lost her battle with cancer and passed away in the early hours of Saturday morning, June 28. She is survived by her daughter Susan, her son David and granddaughter Rachel, her sister Maryann and her brother Roy, numerous nieces and nephews and many friends.
In lieu of any memorials, the family asks that assistance be given to your local Hospice - or to the American Cancer Society.
Trillian - I know she had made some arrangements with you - if she had not gotten around to letting you have her address, please e-mail me at the address in my user-profile and I will send it to you.
She went peacefully, in her sleep, in no pain - as she wished.
Rest peacefully, my dear friend - you will be missed.
Count me in on a card or something ... I'll PM ya.i miss her. and i'm with mags in that it makes me smile to think she's saying "neener neener"
it was indeed her wish for memorians be in the form of contributions to your local hospice or American Cancer Society.
if anyone wishes to send her family a card or a note, PM me and i'll take care of it the way she wanted.
I am saddened that she is gone, but happy that it was relatively quick and painless. I'm normally not one for such things but, *lights a candle for Lea* ...Carolyn Grismore, also known on these forums as Leandra, lost her battle with cancer and passed away in the early hours of Saturday morning, June 28.

Good for him. Then his "in character" sucks hairy balls in this thread.He's an old SNR friend of hers if I remember correctly and was speaking in character for his old nickname of Alex DeLarge.
Yep. WTF PB...He's an old SNR friend of hers if I remember correctly and was speaking in character for his old nickname of Alex DeLarge.
Aye, he's speaking in Clockwork OrangeHe's an old SNR friend of hers if I remember correctly and was speaking in character for his old nickname of Alex DeLarge.
That's cool. I took offense to his style as it sucked ass in this thread. I got over and moved on.Aye, he's speaking in Clockwork OrangeSaying that he'd heard Leandra had passed and that Alex is going to cry great tears for his old/ancient friend.
And that she had whacked him when he was being a brat, right?Aye, he's speaking in Clockwork OrangeSaying that he'd heard Leandra had passed and that Alex is going to cry great tears for his old/ancient friend.

Oh, yah, think I recall Alex of years ago. He was kinda nice. Yeah, I thought he might be speaking in char, and sincerely.He's an old SNR friend of hers if I remember correctly and was speaking in character for his old nickname of Alex DeLarge.
YeahInteresting also, as in real life, that it sometimes takes the passing of someone to see old familiar faces once again.
Yes indeed.I envy those of you who got to know her in real life. I always found her to be caring, thoughtful, and intelligent. Hers were the posts I would stop and read even when I was only skimming the rest of the thread. I shall miss her, her posts, and her attitude.

She lived in the Seattle area.Can anyone tell me what area she lived in? I wanted to look up the obit online.
You got me curious too now, Shari. I Googled her name and came up with Everett, Washington, but no obituary.
Shari - Everett, WA is the correct locale. She and her daughter were living there. When I got to know her she WAS in Seattle. You do know she was raised in Anchorage, AK, right?T'Amon. And I recall many times she intimated in posts how fond she was of you as well. If that gives you a bit of joy among your sorrow.
I know what you mean, Dosa. Compared to many here, I hardly knew her except for her UHall OT and then OT posts over the years, and the few humorous PMs we shared. And yet I miss her terribly and my heart's broken for her family.I miss her more than I really thought I would. How can a person you never met in person sit so heavy on your heart?
Same here... I've probably mentioned her here a hundred times this week irl. I have a lady here at church who also has cancer, discovered during an exam for something else about a month ago who is beyond "repair" who has decided to not do anything like chemo or radiation, other than manage pain when the time comes. I hope that her passing is as peaceful as this seemed.I know what you mean, Dosa.
