Well... This is a lot to revisit.
As long as this was brought back I will share a bit of my personal psyche. I have a huge issue with death, mortality, human frailty, and the finite time we have. This is why I am fascinated by vampire lore, undeath, etc. There are other reasons as well, but my issues with death are a huge part of that.
I never went back to this thread after I posted a brief message of condolence. I revisit many threads, but stuff like this is too painful. Even an unknown fellow gamer is too close.
Now I have looked at the pictures, the love, the struggle, the determination, and a bit of the life of Rose. I am grateful it was shared. We are all marching towards oblivion. May we do so with a small amount of the grace and courage that Rose displayed.
