W2R Sad News

[omni550]

It is with a heavy heart that I share the sorrowful news of W2R’s passing in February 2025.

My heartfelt condolences go out to her family and to her beloved long-term companion, Frank, about whom we heard so many wonderful things over the years.

She was a cherished presence, offering wisdom, warmth, and thoughtful contributions that enriched this forum. Her absence leaves an undeniable void, and her sage insights will be deeply missed.

I like to imagine her in a serene place, joyfully immersed in her favorite game, Nintendo’s Animal Crossing, crafting a world as kind and positive as she was.

Mod Team Note: Thank you Omni for starting this thread for the community. As Omni notes, W2R passed away recently. We were very sad to learn this news as we're sure all of us here are.

Many of you may not be aware, but W2R was a very private person and appreciated the anonymity of this forum, so we ask that you please respect her wishes in your posts in this thread.

Oh so sad! I was so afraid that was happening. Thank you Omni for sharing this important news. I remember her posting for a couple of decades! And followed her journey before and after her retirement. She is sorely missed!

omni, I appreciate that you posted the news about W2R. Her optimism shined in each post. The forum is diminished by her loss. I feel for her champion Frank, “the guy next door.”

Thanks for posting, omni550. I've been very concerned since she hasn't been posting. Blessings on Frank and all here who will miss her so much.

I just looked her up last night. Dec 11th was her last post IIRC. I was hoping I had missed a post. I'll miss her. And hugs to Frank

She will continue to be missed beyond the three months we've had no news. Really was hoping it was an eyesight issue keeping her away from the board. Condolences to Frank - you are a good man by her account, and her judgement carried weight here.

Oh no, that is such sad news. She was such a positive and constant presence here. We are very much the poorer for not having her here. RIP W2R.

Oh no, that is terribly sad news. Since there'd been no posting for so long, I feared the worst. I appreciate being informed.
