Gone

Sandy made me this icon quite a while ago, when I was dealing with some emotional stuff and I needed the reminder. Today I need the reminder again, as Sandy has passed on. She was my friend for 30 years, since we were in college: through the SCA, science fiction fandom, and slash fandom, not to mention our non-fannish lives. I already miss her. She was a community builder, and her passing has left a huge hole in many people's lives.

I loved what Kass said here: http://kass.dreamwidth.org/907097.html

Take care of yourselves, and live gently in the world today; it's not a day for big decisions. I am leaving comments on, but I have to be honest, I doubt that I will reply.

Oh, honey, I am so sorry for your loss. For all of our loss, of course, but especially for those who knew snady so deeply and for so long. I'm thinking of you and sending love your way.

I love you, and I've been thinking of you as much as of S&B, because I know how much this has been affecting you.

Absolutely fandom has a Sandy-shaped hole in its heart today. I'm glad her legacy is a cornerstone among us. My heart goes out to all you folks who knew her longest and knew her best. {hugs} {HUUUUUGS}

At some fannish gathering years ago (I think it was the dead dog party at the end of the first Vividcon), someone said something that Sandy very much wanted to remember.

"Note to self," she said, and looked at you.

I send you sorrowful sympathy, and I'm thinking of you.
