Admin: Loss of a member

[cereta]

As some of you already know, our wonderful minoanmiss left us on March 3rd. Her loved ones asked us not to make any public announcements for reasons involving her family of origin, but we've been given permission to announce to the community now.

Those here in agonyaunt will remember her for her contributions from Ask A Manager, and her insightful comments on family, found family, and other topics. The wider fannish community will remember her for her amazing fiction and her art, particularly her drawings of Minoan culture. Others will remember her for her amazing fruitcake and other culinary adventures.

sabotabby created this lovely portrait. I think I will try to remember her this way.

Oh no!! I am so sorry to hear this, she always had such lovely insight, and while I didn’t know her well, I held her in the highest regard.

My deepest sympathies to all who loved her :/

That is a lovely portrait. I will miss her presence here.

What a great portrait.

I'm very saddened to learn of this. Thank you for the post.

If anyone knows of a scholarship fund or charity to donate to in her memory, I'd love to know. I did not know her IRL (as with so many others here)

Here are the charities we all agreed on:
Watertown Community Fridge which she cooked for every week, and was cooking for when she went into cardiac arrest
Transfamily Alliance, a resource to teach parents what their kids need on their gender journey.
The Trevor Project
The Greater Boston Food Bank
Mama Dragons (support for LGBTQIA parents and for parents of LGBTQIA kids)

yes, that portrait is exactly how I'm going to remember Ny
