I understand Kevin. I think this is when the world of the internet is
challenging - grief in the digital age is something I'm still trying to
sort out in my own head, and having so many friends so spread out around
the world makes it challenging to "feel like you're not alone". It also
makes me, at least, feel more helpless in regards to what has happened to
people (which was out of my control, but, that's part of the grieving
process).
It's all really weird. I never thought the day would come anytime soon
where I'd be talking about the legacy of Wikipedian freinds who are no
longer alive.
I know Wikipedians who have died, but I haven't known anyone this close,
let alone...in one week (WTF UNIVERSE). It's just...weird, especially since
these two women were involved in our little corner of...said universe.
hugs to everyone from afar.

I've mostly been silent about the loss of Adrianne
and Cindy publicly,
because I've mostly not had any idea what to say. I'd been working with
both on various projects for quite a while, and had a multi-hour skype call
with Adrianne in the recent past about the gendergap and education outreach
efforts. I've rarely met a Wikimedian as passionate about making the world
a better place than Adrianne. Cindy and Adrianne will both be terribly,
terribly missed. I wish I had the eloquence that has been put forth by
other people in various places, but right now a large part of me is still
just trying to process.

I'm terribly sorry to hear that. My condolences go to whoever knew her -
online or in real life.

There is no IGLU Cabal. The problem of founding an IGLU Cabal has been
proven,
in a surprise move, to be equivalent to the question of the existence of
God,
fully‐tolerant religions and NP‐complete oracles. — Omer Zak
