Denise (Den_muggle) has been a wonderful friend to me, both at CoS (where she stood by me when, in one of the private groups, someone went after me and it almost turned ugly) and in real life. Though we never met, we've kept in touch through email, and she was very supportive all through my late husband's illness and passing away.
I did tell her of CoS' closing down, and of this site and my own AV site (this was before her mother fell ill and passed away). She said she didn't have the time to chat on-line any more and wasn't joining any new site, but she'd keep it in mind should the situation change.
Any of you who wishes to express your condolences directly to her, her mom's obit should be in the Shelbyville paper today or Wed. www.shelbynews.com. There usually is a possibility of posting your personal condolences. I know that, when my husband passed, messages from friends, including friends I'd never met like the people on CoS, Arry himself among them, was a great comfort to me.Added (2013-04-16, 06:43)

ETA - I forgot. Should you check the obit in the paper, Denise's mother's name is Jeanne Losey.

I've always wondered how sites found out their users passed away. It's sad to think about
I remember seeing the username, but I don't think we ever talked. It is terribly sad though. I'll think of Den_Muggle and family before bed tonight.
