And then settiai just posted saying that it was posted on Facebook that she's passed away.

I have a life because of her. I have friends because of her. I don't know what I would've done if she'd never been in my life. I don't know what else to say.

and? I'm deeply sorry for your loss. I've seen notes around in various places and it sounds like she was a remarkable person. I hope your memories will be a blessing.

I found out about fifteen minutes before I left work, and it took everything I had to keep from sobbing those last few phone calls. I can't believe she's gone.

*hugs back*

It just doesn't seem real yet. How can she be gone?

I actually just went and looked a little while ago, and - while she's mentioned on a few pages (such as the WeBoB one) - it doesn't look like there's a page specifically for her.

Val introduced me to everyone.

Same here. I vaguely knew a few people already from Nummy Treat, but WeBoB was where I really got to know everyone. And it was all because of her.

I don't know. I can't even process this. Echoing what green says, I wouldn't know you guys, I wouldn't have my LIFE without her. This isn't right. This is beyond the definition of *not right*.

*hugs you so much*

I don't know where to post this, I'm all a mess. This is SO not right. She was a splendid force of nature, she was so funny and amazing and it's so unfair. She was one of those people when every time she posted my heart beat a little faster, because she was so real. How could this even happen? I spent the past few hours re-reading her journal off and on.

I'm sorry for your loss. It seems like she's leaving behind a beautiful legacy - lots of people are talking about what a powerful, amazing person that she was. This is tragic. If you want to talk, I am here for you. <3

I'm so sorry for you and everyone else. I never knew her personally, just that she was a fabulous writer.

Hey, sorry, just checked email! It can totally be changed to be Valerie Lewis - I went by the name that was on the Band of Buggered site, and didn't know if she was - if that was her name! But if you think the top level name should be Lewis we can totes change that; we just need to change it on the B o B page too.
