I am very sad right now because
msmemory has passed away due to breast cancer. I didn't realize that she was sick until recently. It seems inconceivable that someone who was so full of life could be gone. She was always working on something. Although I wasn't a close friend, I've known her for many years. I don't think I remember seeing her when she wasn't smiling. She was truly a kind soul. Being an introvert, large events where I don't know people well can be terrifying. If
msmemory was there, I could always count on a smile and friendly conversation. For these kindnesses, she will always be remembered. I know she left behind many, many good friends.
Reading other people's posts about her is very comforting. Although people have lost something wonderful, the fact that we had someone so amazing in out lives helps soften the blow. That, and knowing that the number of people that will miss her is large, so we're in good company.
By the way, if you're reading this, then I think you are wonderful. Thank you for being (at least a little bit) a part of my life.
