So soon from the announcement... rest in peace.
I never really had much contact with Fugu, but everything I saw pointed to a first class human being.
**** cancer.
Rest in Peace, Fugu. You will be missed.
I've also been told that when she was told about all of the activity here including the fundraising for BCRF, although she was heavily sedated her breathing changed and she squeezed her hand tightly, so she definitely knew and understood (and I assume, appreciated).
She'd be embarrassed by the attention here, undoubtedly, but I think she'd be proud of how many people she's touched here.
I'll mention our fundraising link here one more time:
HFBoards Donation to BCRF in Honor of Fugu/Barbara.
You don't have to give anything, and certainly don't give more than you can. If our collective donation makes a difference in the life of just one person suffering from breast cancer, I think Barbara would really appreciate it.
Many people say it after someone passes, but Fugu really was a really good person. I would have said that before all this happened, as would many others. The amount of work she put in as a volunteer on this site is insane. She did so much for the site and people on it.This really is hitting me hard. I’ve had many conversations over the years with her and she helped me immensely to find employment in my field when I first moved out west. This really hurts bad.
