Zola leaves up....
Zola leaves up....
I am never one to use long drawn out messsages to say what I want so this will be short.
It greatly saddens me to inform you that Kim lost her battle with cancer today at 8:06pm her time.
She wanted to let her friends know that she loved you all. you know who you are so I wont start listing names.
Though I never got to spend some time with her in person I feel the time I had with her is priceless and I will never forget her.
For all of you that knew her, know that she felt blessed for knowing you.
You will never be forgotten.

I have no words to describe how I feel when someone I grew to call a friend passes on.
All I can say is that I am glad her pain is no more.
The Movie Meet Joe Black has a scene in it with an old black woman whi is dying. They talk about her taking back lots of wonderful pictures with her when she dies. Kim Will have many pictures to take with her thanks to all of you who supported her, and to the man who has stood by her as best as he could thru her last days.

I am not so good at this stuff in spoken word, this is the only way I really know.
I wrote this a long time ago.
Zola shall be missed, truly.
This is for you, in the best way I know,
Its about leaving things behind, or death,
eternal rest. In a way, its about what people say about you after your gone.
I wrote it in that context, perhaps its a
bit "dark" of a poem, but it
summarizes what I feel about dying.
"Mercyful Dusk"
When the day gives way to night
Theres another world beyond the veil
Where the deadly shadows mask true sight
A place from which the unreal hail
Things untold come to hollow light
As I await the tainted tests of dawn
Do I dare to face the tests of men?
Or have they missed me since Ive gone
Your time has little meaning now
When all is done and said and told
Rest alone shall claim this dark hour
I find the different loneliness of old
Dare I leave this haven now
Or do I dare to slowly fade away
Nothings left of whats been told
Of the darker blood of yesterday
The black does hide the truth of all
And there I find that when I stare
The light flares darkest of all
When you wish that you were there
------------------
Just as soon as I belong/Then its time I disappear

Sitting here crying.. Somehow, some way I was praying she'd pull through..
Kimmy your star, your soul burned wiht bright strength, You love shone on us all. Warming us.
The day feels colder now..
Danny, my heart goes out to you.. remember as long as we hold her in our hearts..
words are cold comfort.
my shoulder is open to you...

I have the words for what I feel, but for once I don't have the means to express them the way I need to. I'm speechless, heartbroken. Kimmy was a dear friend to me. We shared a lot of laughs together.. my memories of her will be held strong. My heart goes out to her children and Danny. Everyone close to her, everone who loves her. Her pain has stopped, for that, above all else, we must be thankful.
Wherever you are.. I love you Kimmy.

One thing I'll always remember about Zola was no matter what she was doing on here she had fun. Be it something as simple as elites she enjoyed every minute of it. A lesson to us old and jaded mudders, never forget the simple pleasure of your friends. Without them this place would have no magic.
I'm glad to have known you Zola, and I'll remember you.

I sit here not sure what to say, tears flood my eyes, and my heart hurts badly, but I keep hearing the words of no pain, and dont be sad. The words Kimmy spoke continously of the past few days. The angels are blessed to have another such as Kimmy in their presence...Spread the wings and fly high, now is your time. I love you Kim.

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message She is Dead,
Put crêpe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
She was my North my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

You are missed, but will always be remembered with a smile,

Trewe,
I did not know Zola, and only recently have gotten to know you well, but from the feelings you shared with me, I wish that our paths had crossed sooner and that I might have known her. If you ever need anything, you've found a friend in me, and all you need do is ask.

This truly makes me sad....I did not know Zola well....but I hope all her family and friends can celebrate her life...and not mourn her death....as we all touch those that we meet....
I wish I could say something inspirational.....but I have always hated death...Zola....YOU will be missed....man...this fucking sucks.

Zola,
It saddens me greatly to read such a post, yet I knew deep down that it would come. I prayed in my way that it wouldn't and for a while I thought that it may not. But as time wore on your pain increased and you were less lively. It is hard to play without you around and you will forever be remembered here. But know now that your pain is forever gone and that you will feel nothing but joy and love for the rest of the existence you now are in. You are loved and will be greatly missed. Until we meet in the next world.

I am greatly saddened by the loss of Kimmie.
Kimmie, you were a great friend to me. I know that I have been mostly away from the MUD recently, but you were a great friend, and you taught me much. Thank you.
I will never forget all the things we shared together.
I'll never forget our gossip sessions.
I'll never forget your crazy stories.
I'll never forget your sharing of your medical struggles.
I'll never forget you sharing your frustrations with life in general.
I'll never forget how supportive of me you were.
And of course, never forget the shot-gun story.
I miss you greatly. You made Sojourn worthwhile to me. Thank you.
I'll never forget you Kimmie, thanks for the friendship.

Kim's daughter asked me to post a message saying thanks for being such good friends to her mother and to let you know that herself and her brothers are doing as well as can be expected.
Though it saddens her to read your goodbyes it also makes her happy to know her mother had so many people that loved and cared about her.
I'd like to thank you all aswell for the support and kind words.
I miss Kimmy and will never forget the love we have.
Thank you all once again.

It took me a long time to figure out just how to say this, and I still don't know if I have it the way I want it, but hopefully it gets the message across.

Vandic rolled over fitfully on the lumpy mattress, trying desperately to catch up on sleep after the long journey south from Waterdeep. The late afternoon sun had become obscured by dark clouds shortly before he arrived at the Blade and Stars Inn, and now the streets of Baldur's Gate were silent as slashing sheets of rain tore through the night sky. This storm seemed wholly unnatural to Vandic; it was far too close to winter for such strong storms, and it had come upon the city in a matter of minutes. The sputtering rain that splashed through his window, combined with the howling wind, rumbling thunder, and the unfamiliar bed made the prospect of a good night's sleep unlikely at best. Vandic turned over once more before restlessly throwing the covers aside and getting out of bed, then walked over to the window to watch the storm.
A jagged bolt of lightning streaked dangerously close to the inn, so close that the following thunder seemed to shake the entire building. Vandic staggered backwards, briefly blinded by the flash, then returned to the window to try to see what damage the impact may have caused. The cobblestone streets below were covered with the soaking rain, and each new drop splashed visibly in the standing water. As Vandic watched and listened to the hypnotic sounds of the storm, he noticed a series of splashes moving along Windspell Street, heading north towards the city gates. They were far too large to be caused by rain, or even hailstones (of which there were none), and they occurred at regular intervals rather than in the erratic pattern of the raindrops.
They seemed to him to be almost like footsteps.
Vandic burst out of the Blade and Stars Inn into the open street, immediately becoming drenched with rain. He scanned up Windspell Street to see if he could relocate the mysterious splashes heading towards the gates. Another bolt of lightning struck about 100 feet in front of him, and in the brief flash he caught the image of a dwarven woman on the opposite side of the street, walking leisurely towards the northern gates, seemingly oblivious to the elements. The sudden appearance of another person out in the street startled Vandic, and while it explained the footprint-like splashes he'd seen from his room at the inn, he couldn't figure out why he hadn't seen her before.
"Lass!" he called out as he ran towards the spot where he last saw her walking. "Where're ye headed at this dark hour in such dreary weather?"
The other dwarf turned back to look at him, now only about 20 feet away. As she turned, Vandic came to a dead stop, taken aback by the sight of the face he had not ever imagined he would see again. The soft, bright eyes that had persisted even as disease had ravaged her body now stared back at him, set above the warm and familiar smile. The rain passed clean through her translucent form, splashing onto the street beneath her feet.
"Home," she replied softly, so softly that the word seemed only to echo inside Vandic's head as he heard her speak. "Ye help take care of me love, hear?"
Vandic nodded, still dumbfounded by the sight he did not expect to see. The ghostly dwarf smiled at him again, then turned to continue on her way towards the city gates. Yet another bolt of lightning streaked through the night sky, causing Vandic to turn away briefly, and when he looked back, she was gone.
Farther to the north, a small break in the clouds had opened up, and a single star was visible through the windswept rain. The northern star, shining a brilliant bluish-white, so bright that it seemed to illuminate the entire town. Vandic stood in awe of the shimmering light, holding down the lump that welled in his throat, then breathed a heavy sigh and turned back towards the entrance to the inn. The night watchman had come out to ask what sort of demon could have possessed him to run out into the rain as he did. Vandic did not reply, but simply smiled and accepted the towels offered to him. After changing into dry clothes and looking out into the dark streets of Baldur's Gate one last time, Vandic crawled back into bed, and he slept.

To Trewe and to Kimmy's family, my condolences. Do your best to keep the fond memories you shared close to your heart. Those will be with you always and in that way she will live on.
To Kimmy, a prayer of thanks for many wonderful adventures and laughs with Zola. Players like her are what make Sojourn3 a place I miss sorely.

With tear stained eyes and face, I'm writing this, so if I blubber on or misspell things or offend anyone with the name of God, please excuse me.
I just found out about half an hour ago that I lost a very dear friend. I can't believe Kim is gone to be with God. I'm absolutely brokenhearted. Not only for myself, but also for all the people that loved her.
Trewe (Danny), I know she really loved you from the conversations we had. I'm glad you had each other.
To all of her friends, we know the pain she was going through, and now she's in Heaven and no longer in pain. I know she made friends easily and no one ever had a bad thing to say about her. That's how I hope to leave this life. I prayed for her everyday and I'm kinda in limbo about why God took a good woman home when He did.
To the people who were acquaintences of Kim's, she was a really great person.
I forget who said it, but I think it'd be a good idea if we petitioned the gods to give Kim her own statue. I've lost two goods friends on the mud this year. Kobei and now Zola.
I'm kicking myself so hard for not being around more on the mud. I got a job and Kim was happy for me, but I should've still got on more. The last message she sent me was very sad, talking about how she would miss me and what great friends we were. By the time I got it, she had left for the hospital. Yet another person I never got to say goodbye to. (There's been 5 over the past 2 years) We were going to meet (since we only lived a couple hours from each other) when she was feeling better. I just really feel numb right now.
To Kim's kids (if you read this). Your mom was a wonderful woman. She always talked about how much she loved you guys. She was a really good friend in the short time I knew her. I'll keep you in my prayers.
I'm sorry I didn't find out sooner. I logged on a couple weeks ago and petitioned to see if Zola had logged on in the past few weeks and didn't get a response. (Would've asked a player, but no one was on that I recognized). If anyone wants to get ahold of me, my email is queenmental@adelphia.nospam.net without the nospam (i know spammers get emails off boards).
Goodbye Kim. I'm really going to miss you
