29th of March, 2012. Christine has passed.
Even after knowing what was to come, the news still shocks and reality is still sinking in. We bow our heads in remembrance and raise our hands to salute one of the irreplaceable great spirits of Everything2 and its community as she herself crosses over to another plane. She takes her place in our memory, in our hearts, for as long as we remain. We stand by Kevin and Tess for as long as they need us, for as long as it takes.
Thank you for being part of this place, of the tribe that it has become. Thank you for being part of our lives.
For the community,
It has been announced that a memorial will take place on the 15th of April. More details here.
Longtime E2 user, editor, and administrator grundoon passed away earlier today.
Over the years she devoted countless hours to our community, sharing her wonderful and insightful writing with us, helping users new and old write better, and working tirelessly behind the scenes as an admin to keep the site going.
She was also part of one of E2's great love stories, winning the heart of the inimitable wertperch and inspiring him to leave his native England and start a new life on American shores.
Battling cancer for the past seven years, she generously chronicled her illness here on the site with awe-inspiring grace, humility, and humor.
We are forever grateful for all that Chris gave us in her time with us here at E2, and we miss her more than any words can say. We will cherish the writings she left here for us more than gold.
Much love to wertperch and the rest of her family and friends, from all of us.
