Sabelle, from your warm heart springs the beginning of this thread… :heart:

Memories and loss….the people who live on in them ….how they affected our lives. There are many cultures that celebrate the memories of those who have passed from this existence that we see…Ceremony …..Ritual…..Grief….

There are members of the Forum that are no longer with us because of this transition. This thread is to celebrate their memories. Many of us who have friendships, relationships with people we have met here, so would be in a position to know of a members passing. There are three who come to mind at this time, soozieQ40, Mr.Hands, and Dominent Blue Wolf .

The Forum is a unique Community, a Family. This thread is for one purpose, to remember….. This is not the place to out, argue, or flame someone’s memory. If you are in a position to know of members passing and wish to be involved in writing a tribute to their memory please submit it. If you have any questions about your post, please submit it to a Mod before you post it. Please do not include any information that was shared in a private interaction. This is a Public Obituary notice, only mentions to be included are those available posted in the forum itself. This would include areas of posting, quotes in context, signatures, and profile information.

Dominant BlueWolf - Passed away on Monday March 12th, 2007.

Will be dearly missed so many. His ability to touch the lives of so many of us will never be forgotten. The honesty, integrity and passion of this wonderful Man endeared Him to so many people, He was one of a kind and His friendship made our lives so much richer.
A part of Dominant BlueWolf will always be with us and we can take comfort knowing that He is with His One and watching over us. And we will always have the memories we all shared with this special Man.

Kismet, DBW. At peace and forever in our hearts.
:heart: :heart: :heart:

SoozieQ40 ~ Stacie

July 16, 1964 - June 1 '06


SoozieQ40 joined the forum on March 5, 2005. She fast became an active participating member. Two of her favorite places to post were in the general section. Last to post on this thread Wins, which she did win the trophy when Southflorida locked the thread in her Memory ( link posted below) . The other was Tell a Story One Step at a Time…her posts there were funny , creative and erotic. She posted appreciation for posts, chiding at times those who did downloaded and never said thank you .
“ Thank you so much for posting !! It’s easy to get discouraged when a few, if any people reply or for heavens sakes vote after all it is SO hard to do !!!! Sadly, most folks come here to get a quick fix and make a dash, not taking the time to vote or make a reply. They either don’t realize how much time and effort it tekes to prepare the clips or pix, and the time it takes to upload anything. Or they just don’t care. They also don’t realize or care that You aren’t getting paid for sharing your clips or Your Time ! Five clips a day ar free !!! Free is free in so many folks eyes. Free of responsibility, free of caring and free of simple kindness. You have a ten from me ! Thanks again for persevering. SueZ”
She posted and offered help to those who had problems with those who used Mac’s and had difficulty getting the clips to play. She posted hints to work thru problems and offered to help personally anyone that she could when the “fixes” she posted did not work for them.

Her nature was open, friendly, filled with the lust of life. The following was posted in IJWTS.
“HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE !!!!!! Thanks to everyone who has helped me through some difficult times !!! It is a crazy world out there Better taste it before it is too late. Forest Gump almost had it right ! Life is like a box of chocolates! You bite into some, and if You like it, You eat it and swallow it up. If Your can’t stand the taste, You spit it out and put it back in the box for someone else to try. At least that is what the people in my world do with the ones they don’t like. I just spit it out in the trash can OK, You got me , I usually swallow them all. Much Love To You All SueZ”
On July 18, 2006 Deerhunter made a thread to inform the members of SoozieQ’s illness…..( the link to this is posted below) and ultimately the loss of her battle with cancer. She is missed….and any wishing to post a farewell message may follow the link to this post.

She will also live on in the memories of her sister, who later became a member, Sugarfoot42. Her close Friend and Lover of many years, Jan, Her new Friend Gretchen, Who was introduced to her by Jan and subsequently introduced into the lifestyle by her and Jan, and her Pups, The last of which she was given by Gretchen as a token of Love.

Thank you Labgirl for starting this. :angel: I didn't know DBW very well but Soozie I did so thank you Dee for that tribute. :wub: They both were well liked here on BF and are missed by many. :(

May they have a multitude waiting for them at the foot of the rainbow bridge. -_-

M~

just a small question:

does anyone knows , where MoreKnots is (why isnt he not active at the moment) ?

Sometimes it is just a name on a screen, but when you get to know people, really know them, that's when it hurts.

We need to appreciate them for who they are, they're faults, their charms, their quirky little habits. Make every moment count.

Jenifer is someone this forum will never forget, not everyone had the chance to know this amazing person, but being the community we are, I know we will all feel the pain of this loss.

On May 25, the world lost one of it's most precious and most incredible creations.





Now at peace, we will remember you for the rest of our days.

I didn't know these people, but as the posts said, we're a community, a family. I'm sorry to hear of these people passing on, and I'm sorry for the loss of BF members. To all who knew them, I'm deeply sorry. If you need to talk, I'm here with an open ear. Some times we need to talk to someone who doesn't know us to help us get through difficult times.

bump for Memorial Day

very well said bi k9guy :beer:

bump in memory and memorial day

Thank you, Labgirl83, for starting this thread to honor those members who are no longer among our ranks. In your initial posting you mentioned soozieQ40, Mr.Hands, and Dominent Blue Wolf

Althought I didn't know them, since I think they were before my time here, I join you in honoring their memory.

As some of you may know, before her loss, Jenifer and I had become friends and shared a few simple PMs together mainly about her puppy, her avi picture and also about some health issues. I admired her intellect as well as her humble and gentle spirit.

The world will miss a talented gift which this wonderful woman could have given it had her life not been cut short. Let us try to find some consolation in the belief that ... although she is now gone from this dark and troubled place ... she is standing in the light .

Rest in Peace, dear Friend Jen.

In the past several years you have seen some of the silly jokes and pictures I have posted. As you may know, I enjoy computer graphics and often create them for various purposes ... most of which are attempts at humor.

However, with today, June 1, being the day that we have set aside to light candles or turn on porch lights in Jenifer's memory, I made a graphic to honor her. Of so many that I have done, none seemed to cause me to do the most soul searching as this one did. I hope I have captured, in some small way, the feelings that we share at this time.

It is with fondness for Jen, for Sue, and for all of you in this forum ... that I post this here tonight ...

Eagle

Note: In my haste to have this ready on time for the memorial tonight, I failed to note a typo in the text. The word loved is misspelled. I could change it of course but I think Jen would have preferred that I leave it in it's original form. She was that kind of a person. :angel:

Dear Beast Forum community

I heared from Chaniffa what a great place this formus is and how at home she felt with here with all the friends she has made.

I have now the sad duty to inform you that Chaniffa and her family perished Friday night, 25th of May 2007, in a tragic accident.

I was and still am her SecretKeeper and now I will continue as Keeper of her Memory. The way I have known her for the last 7 years tells me, that she wanted you to know about her fate. She was never one to step down or disappear without saying something.

But it wasn't her way to mourn too, no ladies and gentlemen. Enjoy each day to the fullest as you never know when it will be your last.

With this I leave half crying and half laughing. Yes Chaniffa looked always on the bright side of things.

Fare well and enjoy!

The SecretKeeper in Memory of Chaniffa

RIP Chaniffa -_- :heart:

Such sad news :(


I hope she and her family are at peace :flowers:

I join the others in offering my condolences.
