You know, this probably sounds really weird, but I'm about to post about somebody who I have never met or interacted with in any way, because it's so plainly clear to me how much of an effect she had on her friends.

That person is slipperieslope, also known as Bee by her friends. Unfortunately, she passed away very recently and unexpectedly in her sleep. :(

The reason I'm posting this is because it's very easy to see that she was very well-loved. She's consistently described as a shining light and one of the kindest, most encouraging people in the TS (The Sentinel) fandom. Many, many of her friends posted about her passing and it was just plain to see how much of an effect she had.

Seeing that sort of thing reminds me once again just how much of an impact people do have, especially one as kind as slipperieslope seems to have been. She must have really been a blessing to the world.

The whole thing moved me enough that I just had to post about it here. Condolences to her friends and family, and I hope that her spirit lives on in them. :)
