I Hate This

[billroper]

tarkrai called today to let us know that Cindy McQuillin had died. I hadn't expected that. The last I heard, she was getting better, but apparently I hadn't heard lately.

I don't much like it when my friends die. I suppose that's the case for most of us, but it's sad when it happens to someone who was just nice. I mean, there are certainly more words that you might apply to Cindy, but when I think of her, that's the one that bubbles to the top of the list.

There are a lot of worse things that could lead off your obituary.

Yes, I think many of us are feeling the same.
trektone who was probably closer to her than many of us, had said he thought she was getting better and seemed cautiously optimistic, so I think it was a bit of a surprise. Considering her health overall no, but recently yes.

She really was nice and fun and talented and I really will miss her even though I hadn't seen her in quite a while. :-(

I didn't know her, but I am sorry for the loss to you and to the rest of the filking world.

(McQuillen, McQuillin, or McQuillan? I have seen her name spelled three different ways in the past couple of days. I have no idea which is correct.)

It looks like McQuillin is correct.
