I recently found out another Weggie I know in Calgary passed away. She was on the earlier version of this Forum. I even got to meet her family.

My day, was when I read the stories on Marta's website.
For all of us on here that had the pleasure of gaining knowledge (and laughs) from the wisdom and generosity of these three people, we know how missed they are.
For those that did not have the personal/cybernet pleasure............do yourself a favour and check out some of the old threads that they posted in........many are quite hilarious.
I also miss Sangye and her words of fun and wisdom ........ please come back to us.
As I mention these four people, there are also many many many, old and new members that all make up this wonderful, amazing, forum and I'm sorry for single'ing out just the few.
I love ya all

"You are my sunshine", he used to sing to me... "you make me happy, when skies are grey" I still answer him.
Rest in Peace, my brave Batman and take care of your weggies from heaven, until we meet again.
Very often think about those we have lost on the forum, there must also be many others we do not know about who have left their loved ones.
Listening to Leonard Cohen always brings tears to my eyes for many personal reasons.

There's not a week goes by I don't think of Jack. Seems strange to miss someone you only knew over the internet. Jack was the one who pushed me to go to Adds so i'll always remember him for that. Al's wisdom and deep technical knowledge and of course Light Warriors light! At least they'll never be forgotten by us who were privileged to know them.

I was fortunate to also have had exchange of private messages with all three. I also felt a kinship with them cause we shared our feelings about our Wegs and how it impacted our lives. We had many of the same concerns and issues because of similarities in how Wegs affected us. I had often thought that Jack and Al were two people I would like to meet in person because of their wisdom and apparent compassion and concern for others. I didn't know Lightwarrior as well but know she was also a positive and helpful person who was always sending healing light to any of us in distress. I think Vdub tried to meet up with Lightwarrior but was unable to connect when in the vicinity.
Yes, it is strange in away that one can bond so closely and feel such loss in losing a person you never met in person but not really when you think about how people used to court and fall in love through pen pal relationships years before the internet. If you shared more of your personal feelings and thoughts with them, and felt they really understood and cared, isn't that what a good friend does? So of course we miss them as well as their helpful contributions to this forum which is an important part of our support system.
I haven't been on in awhile but got an email notification from this thread today. I think of Jack every day, too. And Lightwarrior...it's still so painful to think that she's no longer in the world. I often wonder how her family is doing without her. She was their rock.
