OT: Rest In Peace Fugu - There are no words...

  • Xenforo Cloud has upgraded us to version 2.3.6. Please report any issues you experience.
Hug someone you love today.

We still have much too far left to go to defeat the horrors of cancer.

Not only is a huge part of this site's existence thanks directly to Fugu, but she kept me around as a moderator much longer than I deserved to be here.

She'll be remembered very fondly.

I lost my dad in 2012 to cancer and my sister in 2015 to the same. It was gut wrenching for me and the rest of our family but it's also circle of life. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of them but the alternative of living forever and ever is not very appealing either because I've seen my mom in her 90's and who died last christmas eve (pneumonia) and my grandmother with dementia for about her last 5 or 6 years going all the way to 107 and dying of natural causes pretty much one organ failing after another in a short span of time. I've seen various assisted living facilities, nursing homes and when they're under total care unable to hardly do anything for themselves--that kind of total helplessness can be an emotional and psychological trainwreck too. For most people there won't be a pretty way to go and it's likely to be painful.

It's part of the price you pay for living so you're best off making the most of the time when you're young and enjoying life for all it's worth and doing as little harm as possible to others is a part of that.

It’s news like this that make me feel like a fool for “asking” for the team to do well when a even a fleeting desire like that is so minuscule compared to what really matters in life.

So instead I hope she and her loved ones find some peace in whatever this stop is in her journey.
 
As someone who has lost 3 family members to cancer,its never easy to know anyone and their family has to go through what mine did.I hope Fugu's family can find peace in knowing she touched so many peoples lives,personally and here.My best to her family and friends in this most devastating and trying time.

I'm sad to report that Barbara passed away at around 4am PDT this morning. I've been told that she did not suffer in her final days, and that she appreciated everyone's friendship here.

Her husband said that when he told her about what we're doing here for her - including the fundraising - her breathing changed and she squeezed his hand, so she definitely heard and understood. Keep fighting the good fight on her behalf, please.

My wife's uncle just passed from cancer a couple of weeks ago. He was diagnosed, started treatment, and passed away about a week later. We thought he had a year or more and it snatched his life within days. Too many good people are going way too soon.

RIP Fugu.

I am so sorry. I am just so, so sorry.

I hope for nothing but solace and warm memories for Fugu's family and friends.

f*** Cancer.Rest well Fugu and Thank You for giving us all a place to call home.
 
Copied my post from the main board:

I've been a bit away from HF for the past couple years. I had some arguments with Fugu when I was a moderator, but after now hearing she had cancer, I hope I didn't cause for any unnecessary stress, considering moderating a hockey forum is one of the least important positions in the universe.

RIP Fugu. :(

You were one of the nicest people on HF. I know you helped a lot of people in tough situations. You will be missed.

This is beyond depressing.
 
Been reading her posts for many, many years. Her avatar is what always caught my attention. Seeing some of you veterans pay tribute to her with a blowfish avatar is impossibly sad, but awesome. :(
 
That's just horrible.
I've watched way too many people go down with with evil disease.
My deepest sympathies go out to the family and anyone else affected.
 
Fugu helped bring me in as a mod. She was always the nicest person and was pleasant to talk to.

Like Megusta said previously she probably allowed me to stay around as a mod far longer then I deserved to with my busy life schedule but she was always willing to bring me back.

I deal with cancer everyday at my job and hope that one day I can work with a drug that makes a difference but it doesn’t make hearing about this any easier.

Rest In Peace to the mother of HF boards, your genuine kindness will be missed by all and I’m so glad I had the chance to talk to you.

Cancer sucks. It took my wife's father. In March it took a close friend, leaving a widow and a 3 year old son who will grow up not remembering his father.
 
My condolences to her family.
Some people go quick and that helps to extent that while pain must be managed, it is less duration of pain.
But while quick is good, one always wants enough time to properly say goodbye and go out on their terms, if possible.

It is my hope FUGU experienced both acceptably quick but adequately desired time frame for her exit.

Rest in peace.
With all the nice things being said about you, we can only imagine you surely go to a better place.

ps - when you get there, please put in a good word for the rest of us.
 
RIP Fugu, my condolences to her family. Thank you for helping me out here on the forums a couple of years ago. Truly sad news .
