Amy [Amy31416] Memorial Thread

Now I understand why you've stayed away from RPF these past years, Kludge. It was for Amy's sake, to give her a space.

You're a good man, Kludge. I am very sorry for your loss and all the pain you've gone through.

This too shall pass. Hang in there.
 
I'm not sure but I think Amy was at an event where I had the Ron Paul Corvette and we talked there. At any rate she will be missed and it's a sad day for us to lose someone who understands the idea of liberty. R.I.P. Amy...

This is a very sad day for RPF, I didn't know her that well even on the forum but I always appreciated her great contribution to the discussion on this forum. She was a kind, intelligence, thoughtful, politically savvy poster who I am going to miss.

My condolences to her family and wish the best for them.
 
It's weird to think that I've "known her" for 8 freaking years. I never met her or heard her voice. I wouldn't recognize her if I saw her. Our communication was limited to a handful of PMs and banter in a few dozen/hundred threads. Yet I've still be thinking about this a lot. She, along with maybe 20 others, were a big part or what defined this place to me. We had a loose social circle that gathered and talked every night... I never really considered these internet posters good friends or anything, yet here I am pretty shaken up by this. Somehow an anonymous screen name on the internet actually meant something to me, and it's pretty upsetting.

The link said you could call.

eh? how does that work? I took "call on" to mean like the old fashioned term to visit.

so are they going to teleconference it or if you had a few words to say in remembrance they would pass them on to folks gathered? Never heard of anything like that before.

I still chuckle at myself over her screen-name.

I'm a math idjit you see, and for months, maybe years, I thought pi was her zip code, until I had that "ah hah" moment.
 
She was an all-around thoughtful, nice gal through my interactions with her. We grew up in and our families are from the same region; shared some PM's about geneaology as both of us were sons/daughters of the revolution. Hadn't touched base with her in several years as I slowed down my visits to the forum, but when I was here, she was always good for bouncing ideas off of and herself making thoughtful and humorous contributions to any discussion.

She will be sorely missed.

Yeah, the internet is a new world. I suppose people have had relationships like that through correspondence for centuries, but it was rare.

Ever hear the National Public Radio program Fresh Air? If she had ever substituted for the host Terry Gross, nobody who missed the first part of the program would have ever realized that she wasn't Terry Gross from her voice. She used to joke that she could do a great sendup of that show. And she could have.

Already is.

She liked and admired you greatly. Couldn't figure out what your screen name meant or how to pronounce it, but she was a fan of yours.

fair enough. Just don't think doing any bashing on 'anyone' right now is cool.

I don't but we should contact her brother in a few days about doing a kickstarter/crowdfunding thing to help with funeral expenses and to help care for Meris. It would also help clear the air to ask someone reliable what happened to her, What's happening with Meris and how could we best help.

Give them time to grieve first, though.

I like the idea of passing a hat in order to start a fund of some sort for Meris.

I wonder if we should start our own memorial thread where we share some of our favorite memories of Amy and maybe even stories that some people may not have heard.

She was my friend. I am really going to miss her.

I'll go first by way of repeating myself:
