White Hot Flash Posted August 14 Posted August 14 Tuesday, the 12 of August, saw the passing of my wife @steelfrost, from stage 4 pancreatic and liver cancer. It was recently diagnosed but we were unable to treat it before she succumbed to it. She had played CoH since pre-ED days, mostly on Champion and Virtue, and was active in the RP community. She had too many alts to list (loved the character creator, and many of her alts were for RP purposes so only got played during those times). I met her through the game, her living in northern Mississippi (USA) and I in the Phoenix area. We just happened to be on the same team running missions or perhaps a TF or two, and we hit it off, and eventually I moved to her and we've been together for just about 20 years, our 5th wedding anniversary on Oct 1. She was a member or RP'd with many groups on Virtue and then on Everlasting. She even managed to hide the fact she'd been invited to the secret squirrel server after sunset for a couple of months, finally unable to fib anymore about it and getting me in as well. She was infamous, at least to me, for never having her powers slotted or enhanced because she would help her friends in AE farms and get to certain levels to be able to run RP content at the higher levels. She preferred Red Side content, and even tried her hand at PvP a few times. This game brought us together, and gave her many, many hours of enjoyment. If you ever RP'd with her, or ran endless Imperious TFs with her in Cimerora, hold a torch high for her. I love you and miss you, Sabrina. 10
Nerio72 Posted August 14 Posted August 14 So sorry for your loss. Amazing that you met through the game and got to see it come back! /Em holdtorch

Jeff Krock Posted Monday at 01:37 PM Posted Monday at 01:37 PM Hello WHF, I'm not sure if you and I ever met in game, but @Steel frost and I have been playing/chatting for years. First on secret server, then here on HC. I knew she was married but I don't think she ever told me you played as well. Long time old head player myself from Virtue server right after launch. I am so very sorry for your loss. I had no idea she was even ill, it seems like we chatted just in the last few weeks. (I lose track as I travel back and forth from home to work and don't play at home). She was a kind loving soul who always asked about myself and my family when we spoke. I am heartbroken for you and myself I suppose. People like her live on in our hearts. @Kapt krock
Bionic_Flea Posted Monday at 01:55 PM Posted Monday at 01:55 PM I'm terribly sorry to hear this. May you find comfort in your memories of time spent together and may she rest in peace.
Cobalt Azurean Posted Monday at 03:34 PM Posted Monday at 03:34 PM (edited) I knew of her from Champion on @steel-frost for her character 'bit o honey', sorry to hear about your loss, WHF. /em holdtorch Edited Monday at 03:35 PM by Cobalt Azurean Stay True, Stay Blue.
Redshard Posted Monday at 03:37 PM Posted Monday at 03:37 PM I wish to add my heartfelt sympathies. I had the good fortune to game with Steel/Sabrina a good few times and each of those occasions was fun. She enhanced the gaming experience of all who teamed with her. I hope that you and the cats are coping. All the best. Red
Jacke Posted Monday at 09:58 PM Posted Monday at 09:58 PM My condolences. I still feel the pain of those gone even decades later. I also remember the joy of having them in my life. Remember! Let's be careful out there! SAFETY NOTE: If Leader not on Map holding the Mission Door, First Toon through the Mission Door will set Notoriety. Hold until Leader on the Map!
