[PeaceNikki]

1. OldLeftyLawyer/Tangerine LaBamba

[saracat]

11. A truly brilliant and vibrant women.She is missed.

[PeaceNikki]

12. Thanks for that.

It's interesting this came up because I was just thinking of her and missing her the other day and had a long walk down memory lane with some of her writing.

[foxfeet]

34. I've been thinking of her, too.

And I miss her presence here.

[malaise]

25. I really miss her

:hi:

[Blue_In_AK]

33. I really liked OLL/TLB.

I miss her a lot.

[Canuckistanian]

53. Oh, of course

I almost forgot about Tangerine LaBamba. She was witty, insightful and playful.

I'll always miss her.

[spanone]

74. 2 of my faves

:grouphug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. khashka too...

I need to check on another name. A math teacher, and greatly loved.

BRB...

alarcojon...

*sigh*

[JitterbugPerfume]

21. I think alarcojom passed the same time as oneighty

It was a very day here

[ProfessorGAC]

59. Yeah, 180 Was A Pal Of Mine

That made me sad.
GAC

[GreenPartyVoter]

3. His time here was shortlived, but my dad did post briefly.

[boston bean]

4. sapphire blue, rip

[uncommon]

65. I didn't know that :(

I was away from DU for awhile.

[apocalypsehow]

75. I didn't know that - must have occurred while I was gone from DU for a few months. Very sad. n/t

[Hekate]

5. Someone whose estranged sister came by trying to tie up loose ends in her estate

That was sad. Estranged even beyond the grave, but it was nice of her to let the community know.

Hekate

[babylonsister]

8. Sapphire Blue. nt

[boston bean]

76. no, that was not sapphire blue, that was tangerine labamba aka Old Lefty Lawyer.

[saracat]

15. That was OLL/ Tangerine La Bamba's sister. The remarks were inappropriate, IMHO.

[saracat]

17. Delete

[Hekate]

54. That's pretty much what I said, isn't it?: "Estranged even beyond the grave."

The few posts "Sis" made before the Admins cut her off were increasingly bitter, in response to all the sympathy and questions from OLL's friends. It was sad to witness, to this observer.

But at least she took the initiative to let DUers know their friend had passed on. Without that you would not have known.

Hekate

[Raine]

27. JacksonB57, he only posted a couple of time but

he was the love of my life and he died last Thursday suddenly when his heart gave out. I'm still in shock. :cry:
JacksonB was a hardcore Democrat who actually influenced me. I joined DU years ago and he registered and donated here because I was so enthusiastic about DU. Unfortunately he never had much time to post but we always dicussed what was going on and he lurked whenever he could. I love him so much and will never get over this loss. :cry:

[blondeatlast]

30. Oh, Raine, I'm so very, very sorry.

Prayers to you and JacksonB. :hug:

[renate]

32. Oh no, I'm so sorry

Just last Thursday... how awful. He sounds sweet and devoted to you.

:hug: It's not enough but nothing anyone could say would be enough. I really am truly sorry.

[Bunny]

37. My condolences, Raine.

I'm so sorry for your loss. :hug:

[alittlelark]

41. So very sorry....

:cry:

[babylonsister]

42. Oh, no!

Raine, I'm so sorry to read this. My deepest condolences to you! :hug:

[saracat]

43. I am so very sorry. My deepest condolences.

[EFerrari]

47. Raine, I'm so sorry. n/t

[sarge43]

48. I am so sorry, Raine.

I hope that your grief will ease and the memories of your love will always give you joy and comfort.

It isn't enough, but :hug:.

[demmiblue]

51. So sorry

The love of your life... I can't even begin to imagine.

Please accept this :hug:

[Hekate]

55. Raine, I am so terribly sorry for your loss. You must still be in such shock.

We were where you are in July when our grandchild died of SIDS, like someone blew on a dandelion puff, or like she just left the room.

If there were any words at all that I could say it would be these: when friends and neighbors and relatives ask if there is something they can do to help, please let them help, and if you can, be specific. They want to, and you need it. Make no sudden big changes like moving if you don't absolutely have to. And most of all, day by day put one foot in front of the other, and dear heart, some day you will have walked through this terrible valley and out the other side, although you cannot see it now. :cry:

You will never forget the love you had, I promise you. :hug: :cry: :hug:

Hekate

[Number23]

58. What kind words, Hekate.

[Raine]

91. THANK YOU so much

your kind words and advice mean so much. :hug:

[tomm2thumbs]

56. so sorry

I wish words could heal, as there are no words otherwise that one can offer to soften the blow of such an enormous loss.

Thoughts with you.

[bigwillq]

66. I am very sorry for your loss.

:hug:

[Mad_Dem_X]

70. ...

:hug: My condolences.

[political_Dem]

77. I am very sorry for your loss. :(

I certainly hope that in your grief, the memories of your love will sustain you. To find such a wonderful love is really special. You are extremely lucky to have had someone who cared and loved you unconditionally. You will be in my thoughts in the coming days. :hug:

Take good care.

[salin]

81. Deepest condolences, Raine.

wishing you strength.

[MadMaddie]

85. I am so sorry Raine

[Pithlet]

88. I'm so sorry

My deepest sympathy for your loss, Raine :hug:

[Hekate]

29. LBN is not the same without Kephra.

[Rick Myers]

31. This place was never the same after Kef died

He was somehow the SPIRIT of DU. And he was a very good friend.

Godspeed, my droog...

[Bunny]

40. playahata1

She died a few years ago.

[salin]

82. I Thought of her as well.

Tragically short time between meeting her goal (passing the dissertation committee) and her passing. I so enjoyed her perspective. She is missed.

[11 Bravo]

46. Kephra, Andy, Monkeyman are the first that come to mind.

[SidDithers]

49. erma and Longhorn...

Didn't know either of them, just checking back through the archives.

Sid

[Canuckistanian]

50. Sapphire Blue comes to mind

She was lovely.

[Hekate]

62. Now that you've had a number of responses, what prompted you to ask?

[Hawkeye-X]

72. I lost my bookmark on who died, because I had originally proposed a Memorial page for those who

passed on.

When ATA opens up, I intend to ask that question and a reminder to Skinner.

[me b zola]

67. Gin Barn

She had a newer user name, but I don't recall it.

[Binka]

68. ChickMagic sp?

I miss her so. Her husband posts quite often.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

69. alljunkmail n/t

[salin]

86. +1

he is/was appreciated. And I always appreciate when I run across you appearance on a thread. Both because I appreciate you originally you only dived into the conversation because of him (your grandfather, if I recall correctly), and because you have demonstrated an openness to different views - that I appreciate.

Granted we are anonymous people on a message board, I find when I read you, I feel a bit of fondness emanating from the above.

[Hawkeye-X]

73. BTW: found my memorial page on my journal.

Almost a year ago I made that request.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x6877912

Sorry about that, just going to keep them updated.

[Hekate]

90. I'm glad you found it again. Sometimes it's good for all of us to take time to remember

... those who have left us.

:hi:

Hekate

[Born_A_Truman]

89. AbbeyRoad's mother, rebel with a cause

[Raine]

92. I want to THANK EVERYONE for the comfort

they have given me with your words and thoughts in the loss of my beloved JacksonB57. I couldn't even bear to come back to read this thread for a couple of days. It's all so new and so raw but my DU family has helped so much, I love you all more than I can ever express. :loveya: :grouphug:

[Blue_Tires]

93. didn't we also lose newyawker99?

[Hawkeye-X]

94. Last I heard a year ago

that Roni was ill... don't know if it has changed...
