Do you know anyone who has/had an account on SW that has passed away? Shall we list them here in memorial?

I know of at least one who passed away quite a while ago - her account name was Windsylph.

There was also another woman who passed away. Although I can't remember her profile name, she was kind and I hated to hear she had passed away. I think I would recognize it if I heard it again.

Yes but I can’t remember her name. Her abusive husband killed her. Her family was aware of her account here. They did close her account after her death.

@tobynshorty Being in an abusive relationship with no way out, is a terrible way to have to live. Someone else here mentioned her too - Moonchild123. How terribly tragic.

@tobynshorty [@LadyBronte) I remember that tragedy. She was a librarian, based in Texas. Her name was Kate Wiant.

@tobynshorty It truly is.

@onrealityofdreams That is so sad. The entire thing. 😔

@LadyBronte I agree. From what I remember (and I may have gotten the precise details wrong) the family was going through a financial crisis. Additionally, he was an abuser. He killed her, their daughter, and then himself.

@onrealityofdreams I read it as he killed her, then himself in front of the young daughter, which is all kinds of messed up. Either way, nothing about it was good. Domestic violence is horrific.

@LadyBronte Yes that's what happened. And I agree domestic violence is horrific.
