In Memory Of...

Dear Members,

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of two beloved Stories.Com
members: macyla and Spongebob Squarepants .
The letters we received from both families speak for themselves, so we've
included them below...

We mourn the passing of macyla...
<blockquote>Her name was Jeanne, known by Stories.com as "Lady Jane". She passed away
on January 25th, 2002 in her sleep while in the hospital. The cause of her
death is unknown so far... I am her daughter and I would like you to invite
all of your members to read her poems and her journal. My mother talked very
highly about Stories.Com and its members, I know she made many friends on
here, although I do not know who any of them are. Please let everyone know
about her passing and please say a prayer for her. She loved literature and
loved to write. May God Bless everyone.

We mourn the passing of Spongebob Squarepants ...
<blockquote>My daughter, Lindsey, known here, as Spongebob Squarepants, was killed in
a car accident two days ago [February 2nd, 2002]. While going through her
room, I found a list of passwords and email addresses for various websites.
All of them had to do with writing. She was going to be a writer. I looked
around Stories.com while logged on to my daughter's account, and I found that
you honour the memory of passed writers by changing their briefcase icon white.
I know this must seem silly, my asking for you to change my daughter's
briefcase white two days after she's died, but I think Lindsey would have
wanted it. I hope you have enjoyed Lindsey's writing as much as I have. I
miss her every minute, and I know her friends on Stories.com and in real
life will as well.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
~~ Joana, Lindsey's mother

(For the time being, Joana will be checking Lindsey's account for email;
if you'd like to send her your thoughts, email to:
Spongebob Squarepants 's account.)</blockquote>
We extend our most heartfelt sympathies to all the family and friends of
both women. Their portfolios now wear our "In Memory Of" portfolio.

Remember, your online friends care about you, too. Please consider making
arrangements to have them notified in the unfortunate event that something
happens to you.

Sincerely,
The StoryMistress & The StoryMaster
