Loss of Contessa Tatsukki

[Maishka]

My sympathies for her family and friends and everyone in the community here whose life she touched.

[Theovin]

I am so sorry to hear this news. I did not know her and am still relatively new here. But having been through something similar myself in the past, I understand the impact of a loss like this and how it affects you moving forward. The only thing I can really say in the end is to relish the memories of the life she lived, the person she was, the beauty she brought to the world, and the way she touched all of your hearts.

A little bit of her lives on in all of you that knew and loved her. Cherish those moments, they will always be there to give you comfort in memory. My heartfelt condolences to everyone. If anyone ever needs an ear to listen, please don't hesitate to ask. I would be happy to be there in any way I can.

Such a terrible loss, I always enjoyed when she was online

It's always sad tiding to hear of an old friend pass away.

I am very sorry to hear of her passing. I did not know her personally, but I am sure she was a lovely person. I am very sorry for everyone's loss.

So a few months back Bo was telling me he did a bit of roster tidying and the subject of "Thellice" came up, I don't know how. Thellice is tagged on WoW and after he died, an officer put a note in his Office Note: "Deceased in RL - do NOT remove"

At the time Bo was worried he'd missed the note and inadvertently removed him. I just found him today, by chance - still on the roster - so Bo need not worry. It occurred to me that I should add that note for Tatsukki. No big deal, right? It's just something needs done when something like this happens.

So, I select the note in the field and hit CTRL+C, and sort by Mains until I find her. There she is, Arotessa, with her main and her five alts. I place my cursor in the Office Note field and hit CTRL+V: "Deceased in RL - do NOT remove"

No problem. Next toon.

CTRL+V: "Deceased in RL - do NOT remove"

Wait a minute ... what does that say?

CTRL+V: "Deceased in RL - do NOT remove"

That's right. Tatsukki is dead. My friend ... she's dead.

CTRL.........+V: "Deceased in RL - do NOT remove"

I had to hover over that V key for a while, as this seemed to have hit me again. Gods, I don't want to be doing this, I feel almost as if I am sealing her in a tomb myself.

CTRL ............................... +V: "Deceased in RL - do NOT remove" It's taking longer and longer each time to fill in that field. I feel a little sick. I feel a lot sad. Why am I even doing this?

CTRL............................................................... last one. I just need to hit the V key and this will be over.

Well, maybe not.

+V: "Deceased in RL - do NOT remove"

I walk away from the keyboard. I go outside. I'm fighting tears. I come back in. I sit back down. I write this. I log off.

I'm so sad to hear of Tats passing! I'm sitting here crying, athough comforted that she's no longer suffering. She was such a beautiful human being, that I'm thankful to have had the privilege of knowing and called my friend.

I pray that her memory will be a blessing to her family, loved ones and to all of us who loved her. May God bless her soul...

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Tats}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} till we meet again!
