I haven't been on the boards in a few days so I just read about this late yesterday afternoon. I am still in shock and it hasn't really soaked in yet.
Beverly Lynn and I PM'd quite a bit the past two months. In her last PM, she gave me her email address because she was afraid she was going to get banned. So when I saw the "Rest in Peace Sparkly Zoe" thread, I thought that's what happened. It was an ironic cruel shocking twist to learn she had actually died.
Luckily I saved all our PM's and printed them out. It's all I have left to remember her by.
I want to share something here that she wrote to me about Aryn, in the hopes that Leota or Beauty or someone else who was close to her can get it to her family, to show to Aryn one day.
Here is part of what she wrote to me about Aryn on 9/28/03:
"She is my best friend, my biggest cheerleader with my weight loss and my pride and joy. She is beautiful and smart for her 6 yrs and she knows that no matter what I will always, always be there for her. She knows that she can always count on me. I hope that things pick up and we can make our Dec. trip to Disney because we both deserve it."
My heart breaks that she and Aryn won't be making that trip after all.
I am just so so sad.
