In Memoriam: Sana (a.k.a. Whistler84) – A Mission for the Entire GateWorld Community

[SnoggingPicard]

Yeah, she never liked anyone to make a fuss over her, that's for sure. She didn't want to tell Camy or I at first because she didn't want us to treat her differently...we made sure she knew that would never, never happen. I've never really lost anyone either, not even family members. This is a new thing for me, and I never realized how painful it could be. I woke up this morning and for a second I didn't remember what happened. I feel like this just shouldn't be happening. I still can't quite believe it.

[SnoggingPicard]

Of course you can. The minute I saw it, I thought of her.

She knows

you guys really know how to make a girl cry.

I'm sorry to say that I did not know Sana well, but I've seen her posts and have spoken with her a few times, and she always seemed like a wonderful, tolerant, beautiful person. My condolences go out to her family and friends. I only wish I'd gotten the time to get to know her better.

ugh. yeah, i read somewhere that she didn't tell you until this month, and that most people were totally clueless about her sickness. she made me so furious about that! like the people that mattered would really look at her differently. you know she didn't tell her other friends until two weeks after she found out. TWO WEEKS. these people were close to her, and she refused to tell because she didn't "want to freak them out."

a lot of people have said that. you know what sana would say? you got plenty opportunities to make sure you don't make the same mistake twice. go out. make friends. and party.

I hope she realized that we would never think of her as anything other than our friend. She was so loved and respected, and I think I speak for everyone when I say that. In my last e-mail to her I told her she was my hero...and that's the truth. I can only hope that if and when I have to deal with something like this, I can do it with as much grace, humor, maturity, and loveliness as she did. She made me feel that it was an honor to know her.

[emotionallydisturbed]

okay. i've printed out the posts, and i've thoroughly embarrashed Sana by putting up her baby pictures. i think my job here is done.

you all have been fantastic beyond words. i finally get Sana's obsession with this place.

get in line.

don't be sad. Sana would ABSOLUTELY hate it if you cried. do what I'm doing. Smile and remember the good things about her. not the bad way she died. if you need to talk, any of you, my e-mail is this :[email protected]

::hugs:: I know the days ahead are going to be really hard, and nothing I can say could possibly make it right. Know that we are here if you ever need anything at all. A friend of Sana's is a friend of ours. She will be missed beyond words.

I'll try. It'll be tough for a while, but you can be sure that I will never, ever forget her. I'll give you some time, but I might e-mail you later on to check up on you. Thanks for taking the time to visit us.

[emotionallydisturbed]

bye.

[SnoggingPicard]

Goodbye. I hope tomorrow treats you alright.

Hi all,

I'm not sure where else to post this - I only just found out when someone else mentioned about Sana's passing.

I didn't know her very well but I knew of her and I'd read some of her stuff here and there. She was certainly interesting and at times amusing. I feel rather sad because she was so young and well, she was nice. Sorry if this sounds rather abrupt, as I have no other words to convey.

Thanks for letting us know Ceekay and hope all of you who knew her closely are ok.

Condolences to her family and friends

I'm at a loss for words... I realize I saw this thread a little late, but when I did see it I couldn't believe what my eyes were registering. I've experienced something like this two other times, and it is never an easy thing. The worst thing is that you just don't want to believe it, that anyone can get sick.

I hate it

I hope all her friends and family stay strong, and remember her for the wonderful person their posts make her out to be.
