I never got to meet
cym in person, despite the fact that we lived in the same town. Nonetheless, she was one of my first LiveJournal friends, and we kept in touch for several years. Her updating became patchier, and we lost communication. The one thing I will always remember how her that, in spite of of her health problems, she fought so hard to live and to enjoy all of the things that life had to offer. She was always kind to me and was there when I needed her to be. I hope that she is at peace.
