Thank you Taylor and Danny: you've been most gracious. Condolences on your loss. I wish that all good things didn't have to come to an end; but, best wishes to you both during this difficult time.

This is such terrible news. Taylor and Danny - thank you so much for letting us know and my thoughts are with you as you try to come to terms with your loss. Your mum was a truly lovely person, and a great friend. She will be remembered with love by all who knew her.

I have broken the news to Sundae on the phone.

I loved her so much.
My last PM from her was re her birthday card:

Quote:
thanks

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

for the card----it made me smile.

I am still in mourning. I feel like my soulmate has died.

I know it sounds stupid----but I am alone here and I'm not doing too well.


again, you are a gem of a friend, cherry.
xo-c-
I didn't reply.
But I did speak to her last Friday.
She called on Thursday - when I was in London with Mum - and talked to Dad. He said they had a lovely chat. Which must have been mostly Bri, Dad being a bit deaf and confused by accents - although she had a lovely speaking voice.

I called her back Friday and she told me she'd had to give her new puppy back. She cried, but we were able to laugh. She said she was so proud of me for losing weight and we talked seriously about the problems both of us have with alcohol. She was always my confidant and cheerleader.

She was the best friend I never met.
We had so much we'd dreamed of, what we planned to do.
I cannot take in that she is dead. I can't comprehend that I will never be able to PM her about victories and failures again. That I will never be able to call her and chat for as long as a free call lasts. That Mum will never come up the stairs mouthing ("American?")

That I will never meet her.

I can't take it in, but I know there is a lot of grieving and crying to come.

I am very saddened to hear this news. My condolences to Taylor and Danny as well as to our community here in the Cellar.

the infinite monkey told me about this...

...awful news.

I had some minor communication with T a little while back...she was nice.

This a loss for all concerned.

Dammit. Like Sarge, I just don't know what to say.

Hate that anyone's family has to go through this.

I've been in and out a little. Bri's death really bummed me out. I've tried posting, but I get into and feel like it's pointless, and delete it. How can I think my opinion of the Bengazi scandal (for instance) is important when Bri is dead? I love you guys, but I'm sad in The Cellar these days.

I loved her because she was honest.
I loved her because she was imperfect.
I loved her because she was unguarded.
I loved her because she sometimes failed.
I loved her because she shared.
I loved her because she wanted to be better.
I loved her because she was childlike.
I loved her because she was real.

Thank you. I love you too.

I had written a senti,ent to the cellar, which i lost as my phone is being wonky again...in and out of net access...but i hope to revive it when i am at a real computer.

Something about something good coming of this: remembering how we care about each other, despite differences.

Love you all.

Please send, phone.
