I don't know that there's anything to say. I didn't know her. And now I never will.
But there are people here who did, and my mind goes out to you.
After weeks in a coma, our recent newbie Kara Koening, AKA Black_Cat, had her life support taken off. She's dead.
Life goes on, I suppose. I hope everyone who knew her is adjusting and has the support they need. . . Email is clickable if you're, I don't know, revisiting this thread after a hard day and you want to talk to someone, or something.
I pray that her family finds peace during this troubled time, and I suggest that you take the time to grieve as well. If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm willing to listen. You should have my e-mail address already.
How's the Vexos Chronicles series coming along? I haven't gotten any emails from you with either a new chapter or a project update, so I'm assuming you're still working on it but hit a snag or two. (Which I would completely understand and not be mad at you for, BTW.)
You've got it partly right: I've hit a few "snags". However, I have been intending on getting back to it; I'm sorry that it took me so long that you've taken notice. I'll try to get a new chapter in your hands by the end of April.
And Storme Hawk, if you're reading, are you interested in coming back to betaing the story?
But the closer we get to May/June time the busier with Uni work I'll be. Can't access my old gmail account so use the one (hopefully) linked to contact me etc.

It's so easy to take for granted that the people who come and go in this community are somehow immune to living and dying like everyone else, and that there is all the time in the world to get to know them. This is a sobering reminder of how untrue that is.
My heart goes out to her loved ones. I know nothing could have prepared them for this. I hope they'll somehow come to recover and move on.
I don't know that there's anything to say. I didn't know her. And now I never will.
But there are people here who did, and my mind goes out to you.
I forget what I meant to say, but it was not that. Apologies.
May she rest in peace...
And may whatever gods or spirits there may be watch over her.
I joined recently after her, and never got the chance to meet her. However, I hope that her afterlife is joyful, and send my condolences.

Somewhere,
over the rainbow,
way up high,
there is someone,
someone,
who shouldn't have...
And yet, as sad as it is, I'm glad to know about it. I worry sometimes that people I don't see online anymore have died, and I'll never know, never have the opportunity to grieve properly. So thank you, Matt, for sharing this news with us.
*hugs*

That's a worry I have, too.
I'm a spiritual person, and I truly mean it when I say I hope she's in heaven.
Rest in peace, Kara.
My sympathies to her loved ones.
Do you mind if I share a poem I found when my papa died?
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
*offers all the hugs*
Also, would you mind checking your inbox? I would like to talk about something, if that's not too much to ask.
And I'd rather not discuss what happened.
The day of her accident, I had actually won the first mini4wd race after I got back into racing. So I wish to dedicate this cup in her memoir:
*salutes*
Congratulations, mate.
Looks good, and still is a victory that I want to dedicate.
Are you doing okay?
We weren't really BFFs, but I know how hard these past months were for her. She left me as a successor to our little writing project: Percy Jackson OC reviews.
Please check your inbox — your services are required.
If so, what's the email?
I never knew her but my heart goes out to everybody who did.
Although no words can bring her back to us, nor give enough support to those who grieve her passing, it feels right to say this.
May she find herself at rest and at peace wherever she is now, may her God look after and comfort those who were close to her and give them a light to carry on in this dark time.

Just no. That's horrible.
I can't say anything worthwhile.
I'm sorry.
