Some Sad Lounge News - no OT please

I've been given the OK to post this, and it undoubtly is one of the most difficult posts I've made on this site in the 20 years I've been a member.

But it is with deep regret I announce that Finzz passed away on April 29.

She had been ill for a while and had several hospital stays over the last few months. But in the recent weeks her condition started to worsen and she unfortunately lost her battle.

I spoke with her husband Jason this evening. He is doing as well as expected. He was not a member of the SD community, but said Finzz spoke often of how much she enjoyed it here. He also mentioned how she could walk into a room full of strangers and walk out friends with just about every one of them.

He said in her will she requested any memorial contributions be made to Judge's Park, an animal rescue for small animals. You can find more information about them at https://judgespark.org .

We also discussed that Finzz did not want everyone to be sad about her passing. She loved the beach, Jimmy Buffett, and just having a darn good time. So put on some Buffett, grab a margarita, and toast our friend.

We heart you Finzzy, and we will miss you.

I've tried so hard to figure out what I'd say. Kami is so special to me and I've been unexpectedly hit so hard by her passing.

I don't cry and I've been bbawling.

Kami, I'll forever miss you!!

Prayers for healing and comfort for her family and friends. Kami will be missed forever.

April 23rd, her last message to me was "sorry for the late reply, not feeling so well right now, hope you had a great day too". This after I left her a Happy Easter 🐣 post. I remembered her every holiday and in between.

I knew how ill she was throughout her journey.

I met Kami once in person, as my husband and I traveled to SC. At an exit off 95, we met at a McD's for breakfast. We three probably talked for an hour or two, about many things.

As on here, she was full of life and laughter.

After that meeting, I called her my Pixie friend, as she was a very petite little lady. She was as beautiful in person as well as in here.

I'll miss Kami, our conversations and the laughter. She was an amazing woman, who now is with the angels 😇

RIP my little Pixie 🧚

Words feel so inadequate. We met when she came to Vegas for her mod vacation. It was great having an evening hanging out with her on my patio with a glass of wine.
She was just the sweetest, kindest and most thoughtful person ever.
Our sky got darker but the heavens gained another shiny star. 😢

So sad to hear the news about sweet Kami 😢. My favorite memories of her were fooling around in the early lounge days..had some great times in threads..and then to work with her here at Slickdeals was a pleasure. She was always so sweet and kind 💕.

She is now at peace, somewhere up there having a margarita with Jimmy Buffet, singing and dancing to "fins to the left..fins to the right…" 🎶

RIP sweet Kami 💕

Thank you. Still hitting hard. I feel her presence everywhere. She called me her twin, but I'm not half the person our beloved Finzzy was. heart
