(12,041 posts)I always assumed he was a she based on his user name, he fooled me and it is fitting because he was a very funny person and was always making me laugh.

(31,893 posts)I never hang out in the Lounge, so I never really got to know MFM all that well. I knew who he was, and I came across a few of his more notorious posts over the years - it was apparent that he had a unique sense of humor.
I'm so sorry to hear that he's died. His passing leaves a big hole in DU, for sure. I wish him a good journey.

(6,154 posts)I was actually expecting to hear this at some point.
I remember when I first started posting here again about a year ago I didn't know who MFM was. For some reason he PMed me or I PMed him for something. At that time he had already posted a few things about his heart problems. I asked him what his diagnosis was, if he was on a transplant list. We replied by saying he didn't want to talk about that, that it hit too close to home. I apologized for upsetting him. I know from later posts that he forgave my asking him and was usually very friendly, kind, supportive towards me. But I knew from the moment he replied in that manner that likely his prospects were not good. So I was expecting this for quite some time actually. And yet like you said it's still shocking.

(1,136 posts)but I always checked his posts and just adored his sense of humor and his daily good news posts. I did let him know how special I thought he was one time. I wish I had said it more.
I'm so very sorry to those of you who were especially close to him. I would have loved to have known him.

(3,065 posts)Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am the thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamonds glint of snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the autumn's gentle rain.
When you waken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there,
I did not die.
I live with the risen Lord.
