Kassie and I just wanted to take a moment to express our sadness at the loss of one of our own who taken from us all too soon.
I had just become friends on Facebook with Uber_Vamp about a month ago, so I did not really have a chance to get to know her as much as some of you. Her loss is felt by us nonetheless.
Our thoughts and prayers are with her family, her friends and everyone who's life she touched in some way.
There have been some beautiful posts about her written by our fellow Bloggers, Twitterers and Tumblrs that have really touched our hearts. If we've realized anything these last couple of days, it's that this fandom is filled with amazing, caring women. Well, we already knew that, but it takes a tragic accident to really pull that into focus sometimes.
We've also realized that life is too short. And as sad as it is to say, you never know when you are having your last conversation with someone. Having said that, our aspiration for the future is to make sure we make an effort to get to know our fellow Twihards better. Maybe through emails, Twitter or Facebook. Maybe through you ladies posting on our Twilight Junkie Tuesdays. (If you would like to do this, let us know). We want to know all of you as the wonderful chicks that you are and not just as a name in our list of followers. So if you get random emails from us.....that's why. :)
We love each and every one of you!
If you followed Uber_Vamp on Tumblr,
you know how much she loved Rob
so to Ania, wherever you are.......here's Rob for you bb!
Love, Marie and Kassie
So sweet girls.
ReplyDeleteI think she'd love that!
ReplyDeleteUV is loved and will be greatly missed. And I'll bet she'd be happy to know how much closer our little community has/will become as a result of this tragedy.

Lovely post, girls. More confirmation of how amazing our "family" is. Love you both!
ReplyDeleteI've been such a bloggy fail lately so this is the first time I've seen your new blog design. Gorgeous!

So so sad. I've seen this on several blogs today and my heart goes out to her family and friends. 23 is WAY too young. This is just one of the things I'll never understand.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely post. Let's honor her memory and do as you've suggested, make the effort to get to know and support each other.
ReplyDeleteReally, keep doing what you've done right here, reach out.
All of you ladies are wonderful and amazing and I love you all! :)
ReplyDelete@Robz - Thanks hunni
@TT - I hope so :)
@Smitten - I think you are right. Tragedies like this make you really count your blessings each day.
@ Lisa - This IS an amazing "family"! And I feel honored to be a part of it. I'm so glad you stopped by. :) RL really does get in the way....I know! :)
@TT - Thanks for stopping by. This is so sad. We have to pull together.
@Fran - I have something up my sleeve to help us all get to know each other. If I can get it to work. And if I can figure it out, I'll share. :)
Wonderful post. I can't stop singing "getting to know you, getting to know all about you" now :) I love you ladies and I am so grateful you are in my life. Thank you for being here.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this beautiful post to our sweet angel Uber_Vamp, whom we miss and will miss so much. xoxo from Melbie
