I just can't even express my sadness. Tamster was a good friend of mine on PC and off. She was the first friend I made when I joined, and we were friends on and off the platform. When I drove back and forth across the country, she would keep me company and talk to me to help me stay awake. When I was strapped for time and driving to a new client appointment, she called me on the phone and read data to me to help me prepare while I sat in traffic. When I was triggered, she'd talk to me and help me calm down.
She was an incredibly supportive and kind person. The best chat facilitator and moderator I've ever met, and really she was so many people's first new friend on PC.
She lived quite a ways away from me, so I never got to meet her in person, although I had hoped one day we would cross paths physically. Even when I got busy, she'd check in on me from time to time to make sure I was upright.
This is a very sad day, but I will always remember the kindness and friendship Tamster gave to me and will try to hold true to her memory by doing the same.
