Goodby from Elizabeth77

[Richard Earl]

I just now read this and my thoughts and prayers are with you dear lady.

I happened to check the facebook link Raewyn left in her first post last night, and did see that she passed on August 14. I know she mentioned that her husband had said that he would let everyone here know, but I'm not surprised that he might not think of it after the fact.

I don't know if it's my place to post her obituary to the board, but it is available on the facebook link.

[Matt]

What a tremendous loss. 

Thanks for checking her FB page, Christopher.  I think she'd want this shared here.

I think she'd also want us to remember how fragile and short life is. Enjoy every day. Be good to each other. Love each other. We'll miss you, Raewyn.

I saw this on her Facebook page after I posted what I did last night. I was unsure to post it so I did not.  It saddened me and I pray for her family.  I was trying to take a nap before work today and I thought about her and Little Bill.  Life is too short.

I was having lunch at work when I read on FaceBook that Raewyn had passed away that day. Her niece was posting and even though we all knew it was coming it was still jolting to read it. Everyday since I've been thinking should I say something or wait for the family to post?

We never met in real life but when chatted a lot in PM's. Raewyn seemed to be the kind of person that would do anything for anybody. I know you can't really know a person just from being "online" but she was genuine for sure.

We had so much fun in the aussie thread years ago. Great memories.

I'll miss her and hope she is at peace.

R.I.P., Raewyn! You will be missed by everyone whose life you touched.

A very sad thread.

RIP

This is heart breaking to read. I have not been on the board much due to been away on holiday and just saw the post by PeterD. So sad.

Raewyn along with The Schofield Kid are the only reason I came back to the board. I also never met her in person but talked to her in PMs and she always came across as a very caring lovely person, a true gem on the board. We did have so much fun in the Aussie Thread and on movie nights, very great memories.

God bless you Raewyn. You will be sadly missed

RIP

 This is Raewyn's husband. Thank you for all you thought and prayers.  Sorry I didn't notify this board sooner.  Thank you Matt for posting her obituary.  Your support and friendship was treasured by her.

[KC]

Thank you for posting. We all treasured Raewyn as well. My deepest condolences to you and your family.

[Doug]

My condolences as well. Raewyn will be missed here, but she will long be an inspiration for her courage.

My condolences.

I can?t believe it?s been five years today since Raewyn passed away.   

[Christopher]

It really doesn't feel that long. I hope her family is doing well.
