My best friend Mira, known as reinedada  (whose journal was removed due to her mother's request) passed away in her sleep on 10 September 2009. Her death was a tragedy to everyone who knew her, but we are all grateful we had the chance to wish her a good night.

Jason Wolford, who the Livejournal world knew as makarov, passed away Wednesday. Jason was a loyal, supportive and true friend to those of us who knew him here.
