    Dear Hippiemom,

    Even through the struggles with cancer you still reached out to me during my darkest days. Always reminding me that I was a good person even though at the time I didn't believe I was. Even though I never had the honor of meeting you I feel as though I lost a best friend. You will be missed and I am eternally thankfull for every word of wisdom and encouragement you bestowed upon me.

    mammasan, that was a very thoughtful idea of yours regarding the dedication.

    It's the least we can do for someone who meant so much to so many of us.

    Great idea Ms. Haiku.

    I'd like to say the following:

    "You really know the loss of a special person when you never even met them and you still feel like something's missing. You left a mark on a lot of people, some who you knew, some that you probably didn't. Here's hoping you are in a better place. 'The sun will rise another day'." - Jamie (Jeremy1012)

    thanks.

    Beautiful idea, Ms Haiku.

    I'm going to try and write down my thoughts tonight or tomorrow because right now... there are no words, just disbelief. It's weird, I never met her but I lost a good friend. She was always there for me and, from what I can tell, she was there for a lot of people...
    THANK YOU, LOSTDAWG!

    Hippiemom,

    I didn't know you well, but I have known you for years. You were always very kind to me. The debates on AMT will be a little less intelligent without you. This world will be a little less bright without your human light. I take solace knowing you are no longer in pain and discomfort.

    Rest In Peace, my friend. You will be greatly missed.

    Sincerely,
    Kevin

    This is still a bit too much of a raw wound for me, right now, but as I'm editing this edition for Ms Haiku, I hope to dedicate my editorial to Laura.

    To Laura:
    My alter-ego/kindred spirit. You believed in humanity and that we could achieve peace in this world, whereas I am certain we cannot... yet, we shared the same spirit for hope... peace. I try to believe in humankind... you did believe. I believe that your life was proof of humankind... as you were both... Human... Kind.
    our world is a little colder.
    peace... love...
