Just a few minutes ago, I was informed that an old friend of mine, Aeonn passed away. Jen Smith. The channel in game for more informatin was Aeonn:jenn

From what I understand, she had a heart attack, and today they took her off life support. People closer to her will have more information for you than I, but I urge you to offer your prayers and well wishes to her and her loved ones. She was a sweety, and too young. Thank you.

It is a sad day for EMarr. Aeonn was one of those people who went out of her way to help you, whether or not she knew you. She had a sense of humor that left you no choice but to laugh. It is with a heavy heart I say good-bye to her. :(

In her memory, we will be holding a service in Gfay, just off the Kelethin book at 10 PM EST on Tuesday, March 23rd.

Sasfai Cinderhands, you are in my thoughts and prayers. /comfort

your in my thoughts and prayers

My love and support goes out to Sasfai Cinderhands at this difficult time.

I am glad that Aeonn Fluxs was my friend. And I'm both glad and thankful that she loved me.

And that never dies.

It's all I can say, and all I need to know right now to get me through. And hopefully it will help Sasfai and all those who mourn the loss.

She was a great friend to have and be around and is missed very much, one of the funnest and nicest people i've ever met and talked to.

Sasfai, if there is any thing I can help with let me know. im here for you.


Chris, AKA WarSheol.

yes, this is indeed a sad time for many that knew her. Jenn was a great little Lady and always much <3 for her. As many have stated before, she always made you smile and always had a great positive attitude towards those that she met, she was a great wife to sasfai, and myself feel priveledged to know her and call her a close friend Both IG and RL...

From the times i would help PL her group as a young druid as she was growing up fighting the Nasty Skelly hut in LoIO to the time when the GM's stripped her Last name due to a comic Book reference, and then I still remember vividly how happy she was when they allowed her to restore it... she sent me a tell OMG GOOODYYY~~~ they gave me my name back!!!!! Such a wonderful lady both in game and the times that I had spent with her at the Fan Fairs.. How you picked on me when I made my lizzy monk instead of Human, because you didnt like the Evil Race, you said that it didnt fit my character and personallity. LoL. You will be Sorely missed dear... /hugs and I will miss you something terrible. I remember how kind you were to me when i was going through the rehab and healing the wounds suffered in my car wreck... you were always there to make me smile and feel happy when everything on my body and inside hurt and bled. I will miss you hun, and will always love you as a close friend.

Sasfai, please know that we are hear for you and if you need anything and anything at all.... contact me in game or speak with dararu, Crom, Aanalorne, Ambien and get my Home number.... feel free to call at anytime.


Matt AKA ~~ Goody ~~ "The Tourist with Bandaids".

SASFAI ; My heart go,s out to you in your time of need. Aeonn was everything you could ask for in a friend ! I know she and you helped me numerous times. If theres anything you need just call you have our number ! Chippot(Chip) and Kalleana (Kathy)

Jenn was a bright star that will never go out. She will always light up my skies with the wonderful memories I have of her.

The world is a slightly quieter place tonight without her voice to fill it.

My thoughts and heart are with you, Sas. We love you and if you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask.

Love,
Holly

Sasfai, if you ever get around to reading this, I wish I could say to you how sorry we all are. Jenn was always there for me and I will cherish her 4 hour rants to me. I feel so awful for never getting that chance to get out there to see her. I wish I could be there for you now and I'm always a phone call away if you ever need me. Your wife was a special person and affected a lot of people. She will be greatly missed.

Love always,
Kaldaana aka Em

Aeonn was a great person, and will be dearly missed. Sas, if you need anything, please contact me in game, or through The Appointed website.

I would say more, but most in here have said everything. You should know that our hearts go out to you.

What can I say. I did not know her as well as I may have liked, but the time spent in game with her was always pleasant. You will be missed Jenn. Sasfai, we are, as you can see, all here for you.
-Kairqa

I can't believe it; this is indeed a sad day. Aeonn, you will be missed!! /cry

Aeonn and I went through the PoJ execution trial together, and it was awesome. She was a great friend and will be missed by Baroth and I greatly.

Sasfai, hugs to you; we will be in touch.



~Keysha (Rachel)

Wow, this just hit me like a ton of bricks. Aeonn was always a great person to talk to and hang out with. I'm so sorry to hear this. I'd say more but I'm sort of at a loss for words.

My thoughts are with you Sas.

Am in Gfay now, but nobody here :(

Gathering is Tuesday

It's Tuesday Fyr - see you then.

For everyone else wanting to donate for flowers/condolences, Jexi has a donation button set up on VoE's web site.

God bless Sasfai and Aeonn

Sas, Darria and I send you our prayers.. We all enjoyed Aeonn's company and she will be missed by all who knew her.

It is truely a sad day. I was lucky enough to have met Jenn and John at the last FF in Chicago. Jenn was a special person and has touch many a heart. We will miss her. Aeonn is a member of VoE. But Jenn is a member in our hearts.

VoE has lost, but will never forget.

I would like to extend my condolences to the Family and Friends of Aeonn, and to Vanguards of Excellence. It is a sad day to see this happen. Without friends little on this earth would be worth doing!

Sending good thoughts and prayers to all.

When I think back to my days on Emarr, the fondest memories were of my days with CBA. We were a family of great people, but none greater than Jenn. Not only did she go out of her way to help all of us, there was always a new post on our boards from someone outside the guild raving about the help she had given them. Nothing anyone can say will make this easy, but Jenn and John were two of my best friends on Emarr. I'm truly sorry for your loss John. Our prayers are with you and your family.

Baroth (Derek)

We were all tblessed to have had the opportunity to know and befriend Aeonn... and from the sounds of it, she was truly blessed to be befriended by the good people of Emarr who cared about her over the years.

It breaks my heart to hear of this tragedy. My love and prayers are with all of those closest to her.

John - I heard the news today via Theo. I wish I could be there to support you in person. Jenn was a great person who had a big heart and passed on way to young in my opinion. I'm keeping both of you in my thoughts & prayers. Please drop me a line if you need someone to chat with - I'll pass on my new #. siilverain@yahoo.com

Much love,
Erica

Hail,

Aeonn had a warm heart with an infectious smile. I was able to meet Jenn in person at the Boston FF, and I'm sorry that she is no longer with us. Aeonn/Jenn enjoyed life, liked to have fun, and was eager to share her joy with both friends and strangers. Her passing was sudden and way too soon.

My condolences to her family in their time of grief. I won't ever forget her, so she will live on in our memories.

In Sympathy,

Sorry for the loss. My thoughts & prayers are with friends & family.

Obviously I've been watching this thread because it's heavy on my heart.

I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge and thank Jexibella and Vanguards of Excellence for all they've done to spread the word, support Sasfai and all of Jenn's friends, and for being their home in these latter days.

Jenn was a member of VP from 2001 to early 2002, and she was an important member of our family. Although it is not the way I would wish for, being there for each other makes the family seem bigger, and I'm glad to know you.

On behalf of myself and the Vivix Protectorate family, past and present, those who are current and those who have moved on to other things, know that we appreciate you and all you've done.

Dararu told me the news, let me just say it struck me like nothing else had in a while. Aeonn and Sas were always there for me during hard times the last few years. I left EQ for my own reasons and lets just say I wish I would have stayed because I lost touch with alot of people I used to talk to. Aeonn was one of the people i missed the most and always told my self I shoudl shot her a email and was always too busy to do so. Well now I am a little screwed on that point. I guess just want to tell Sas I am here if you need me and memmories keep her alive. I wish I could tell Aeonn what i feel and be able to relate what she meant to me, but all I can do is keep her memmory alive.

I still remember callin her and Sas when my daughter was born. I rememebr the long talks, the runs through places I never ben in EQ. I remember calling her my favorite ride in the game as she taxied me around. Never did she say a harsh word to me.

I wrote this for her:

My heart grows heavy as I look to the west
the viel is open, the doorway is ajar
the spirit has left
the memmory remians
the pain is here, not with her
freedom she has found, the chains unbound
unlocked and away, her mmories will stay forever

Aeonn you are forver in my heart. You were a true friend.

My condolences on this loss. While I did not know her personally, it certainly appears that she touched many lives. The following was read at my grandmother's funeral and I've loved it ever since. Whether it is a title or a description I don't know, but the following is called "Indian Prayer":

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I did not die.

For all VP Alumni..... Obviously I've saved tons of posts over the years.

You may wish to remember Aeonn in her own words (and yours). http://pub109.ezboard.com/fvivixprotectoratefrm12.showMessageRange?topicID=91.topic

Oh wow...I would have posted sooner if I had read this before, but alas...

Aeonn was one of my good friends IG, a wonderful character played by a wonderul person. I am very sorry to hear that she is gone.

some of you know me and some don't. I have been here with John and he
has been reading all of your post and asked me to post for him. I wanted to let everyone know that John is doing as well as can be expected, he is ok and knows that he will be ok with time. It has been hard for him needless to say.
All of your post and phone calls have ment so much to him you will never know. He asked me to say THANK YOU to you all for your love and support, in John's words (oh hell ya i need this kind of postative feedback) he loves to see all the wonderful storys you all have to share about our wonder friend Aeonn/Jenn. If you would like to get ahold of me please feel free to email me. Chellef4@bluemarble.net


Jenn was a great gal we had some great times hangin out together watching her TV shows that she just loved to watch,, Hey guy im really gona miss you.

Patients/Llaina

Wow, words can not express how empty this can make one feel. Jenn was a great person. We hade a Blast at the Chicago FF, all the VoE people that hung out and a few others. I will never forget the memories or her voice telling me to tell John "Do not goto the car".

John if ya read this I hope that will bring a smile of joy to your face. Time will heal Bro, but them Memories will never be forgotton. I am always here if ya need a friend to talk with. also i have a few Pics from the FF with all of us in them. when your ready for them shoot me a tell and i will get them to ya.

God Bless you and all her Friends in this time of healing.

I'd chatted with Sasfai and Aeonn a lot in the past. Both of them are wonderful people. I had a lot of fun with them with various jaunts all over Norrath and beyond.

At the Chicago Fan Faire, I met them face to face. I had a great time and really enjoyed their company. Getting chased from one hotel room to the next as we tried to find someplace to tell stories and laugh at our experiences .. loudly .. without someone next door calling security to get us to shut up :)

My deepest condolences to John. I was heartbroken when I found out in game. I can only imagine what you must be going thru, Sasfai :(

Bless you, Patients, for being there by John's side.

My thoughts and prayers are with Sas and with all of Aeonn's (Jenn's) friends and family. She was a bright light that was extinguished to soon. She will be sorely missed.

My deepest condolences to all who knew her. Sounds like she was a great person who will be missed greatly.

I remember when Aeonn first joined VoE, and the first time grouping with her in PoI. We had alot of fun that day. I remember teasing her about the name she had and thinking how fun she was. I was so sorry to hear she passed away, and my thoughts over the last few days have been of both her and John. I will not forget the great times I had with her.

John, my deepest sympathies to you and your family.

Jenn, may the road you travel be paved with the love and friendship you showed so many people.

Aeonn was one of the first friends I made in EQ. I have trouble thinking of some one who would be more pleased to help a friend when ever they asked. E-marr has lost a great personality this day.

My condolences to Sasfai and the rest of her family.

on the first page there is mention of a gathering in G-fay on Tuesday. could some one post the time so I might attend?

I never knew Aeonn, i have many friends that all knew her. and reading these posts of people who have known her. It is sad to hear of such a loss, no matter how close or distant you may have been. Reading over these posts I wish i had been lucky enough to have met such a nice person. Sasfai, i never knew you either, but my heart goes out to you, and if there's anything i can ever do to help you in any way, im here.

~Greell~
~Reyia~

I will miss Aeonn so much. I remember when she and Sasfai joined VoE they were such a fun couple and she was a shining light. Jenn you will be missed and remembered for your constant enthusiasm.

I'm still in shock over this.
Aeonn was also one of my first friends in EQ and great friend at that. I doubt I will ever meet another person with her flare for life, her ability to make me smile on a whim.

Jenni will always remain my fondest memory of EQ.

John, I'm glad to hear you're pulling through. If you need an ear, you can contact me anytime... and not just me, but any of these people. We're all here for you.

Sasfai....My heart and prayers to you and your family. I am truely sorry for your loss old friend. :(

Sas- my heart goes out to you hun. You probably remember us better as Emberial/Lovebite and Zendell. Please contact us anytime off The Appointed boards if you need to talk. My husband doesn't have an Emarr boards acct anymore and asked me to post this:

Oh wow.

I can hardly believe it.

I remember her well. Always saying she couldn't find her way out of a paper bag. =) She was always getting lost. I remember when she was in KotE on our Phinny raid. Went the wrong way and got herself killed. She was a bit of humor when we needed one.

I also remember the very first time I met her...I was a newbie back then just getting on the boat from Freeport to Butcher block. I was coming back from when my friend stranded me at Freeport after taking me there for my first time. I was level 9.

I had to ask in /say where my stop was. I didn'tknow how many stops or where I was supposed to get off. Aeonn sent me a tell and said she would guide me to my home city. After having done so, she was my guide back to Greater Fay. After escorting me to the zoneline, I told her I was OK and was going to kill some mobs on my own near the zone. She stayed to watch over me as I slew some mobs and we kept each other company.

I also remember meeting up with her a few times later on where she would heal our small group as we would strive to conquer tougher and tougher mobs...spot healing us when we got into trouble.

Aeonn was a friend from the beginning of my EQ career and one who showed me that not everyone was playing to be a power gamer. She loved looking at new zones, exploring new places, and getting lost ( :wacky: ).

My heart goes out to Sassfai also. I am so sorry for your loss bro. I am going to go pour myself a drink. Please join me in a toast to Aeonn's memory. :shame:

In memory of Aeonn the members of VoE are dyeing our hand slots bright red. Her favorite color. We would like to invite all those that knew and loved her to do the same. She touched many hearts. This is just a small gesture to let folks on the Emarr server see how many are sadden by this loss.

There's not much I can say that about Aeonn that friends of hers don't already know, except that I, too, was and am one of the people who hold her in fond memory. Everything from her infectious humor, goodwill, her willingness to help, and her friendliness was sincere-- and it was that sincerity I always appreciated.

Aeonn, though we were friends for a little while before we moved on our separate ways, you were great fun, and I still remember the groups, raids, and guild I shared with you, and I'm honored to have been a part of that with you. You were part of most of my fond memories of VP. I wish I had told you all this, but though some may deny it, I know you can see this.

My love, my prayers, and my thoughts go out to everybody whose lives were deeply connected to Aeonn.

-- Sasfai, thank you for sharing her with me.

- Alice
aka Aishen

Aeonn will never know how much she helped me in Oasis when I was level 12 and trying to get away from an orc add that was beating on me and my pet and then the snare that gave me the time to fear it off.

And then she stuck around to make sure I killed them both and then she buffed me.

That impressed me so much that I log into alts once a week and run around newbie zones buffing and healing.

I was fortunate enough to have been able to spend an extended weekend as a guest of Jen and John. I still smile when I think of that weekend, and of my hosts.

Jen was even more vibrant and fun in reality then she was in game. She will be sorely missed.

John, my thoughts and heart are with you. I am sorry I never got a chance for another weekend with you before I moved away.


Carter

I've known Sasfai and Aeonn for a long time and it hurts me to hear about the news.

I was very shocked when I just read the news today on the guild message boards and check here immediatly to see if there was a post. I never met Sas or Aeonn in real life but you guys were great friends to me and helped me alot during my noob days as a little rogue. Aeonn always joked around with me and I even asked her alot of questions when I was 16 (currently 19) about real life issues. It seemed like yesterday when I was in Great divide running through the wurm cave asking her what women like and how to interact with them. She helped me alot even after CBA broke. We would always chitchat in the mornings after I just woke up. And tell her my experience as a 1st time worker at UPS night shift. Aeonn had a very kind, loving heart and gave me a warm welcome after I was gone for about a year of EQ. Her words of wisdom and care will always be with me.

I'll miss you alot Aeonn, Sasfai I'm very sorry bud ~!~hugz~!~ and I wish I could head there and meet up.


Zabinx your dwarfy rogue

My most sincere condolences to Aeonn's friends and family.

Such cold words for somebody who was clearly a wonderful person. I never knew Aeonn, but I wish I had.

I will be heading home from Sasfai's this evening and i wont be able to attend the gathering though i very much wish i could. Know that i will be thinking about Aeonn and all of her wonderful friends that loved her.

Good evening everyone. I am sorry I have to return on such gloomy circumstances. To those that have started playing this great game these past 2 years, I am Brecht bertolt, a Bard of the 58th level. I was a proud member of Vivix.

I met Aeonn in my early days. What a great woman. She would never turn down the chance to help someone. Most people who do not play Everquest view it as 'Pointless" some may say. It's not though. It is a great tool to meet new friends. Sure it it not "Real" so to speak. Or is it? Is a friendship not real? The people you meet on the other end of the screen are VERY real. You get to know that other person as a REAL friend. To me, she was a true real friend and I will always miss her!

R.I.P My dear eternal friend

It stalks the night
It stalks the day
It seeks out life
And whisks it away
It's known as death
And other things too
But it's all the same
What matters is you.
How do you see it?
What does it mean?
It's best if you know
For death is unseen.
It can take you at day
It can take you at night
Knowing death well
Can lend you some light
The passage to death
Is always unclear
And it's best to know
That you're very near.
For death is at hand
It is for us all
Know it's face well
So you don't stumble and fall
Now think hard on death
And know that it's near
And the meaning of life
Will be all to clear
And that is to live
For your hearts desire
Not to stumble or fall
But to burn with a fire.
A fire for life
To live for each day
To reach for your dreams
No matter what people say
Life is a question
And death holds a clue
Reach not for the answer
For your life's not due
Live for the moment
And die for it too
For it's the moment that counts
It, and you
Now I'm all done
I've said what I'll say
Just remember one thing
Live for the day!

Hail,

The memorial service concluded just a few moments ago. Over hundred people were not only in the Aeonn:Jenn channel that was set up for the service, but there were also over a hundred people in the Greater Faydark by the Kelethin book paying their respects to Aeonn throughout much of the memorial - which was almost two hours in length. It was great to see so many there.

Take care,

It was nice to see so many people there and hear all the memories people spoke about, i managed to get some screen shots of the lightshow that overwhelmed me at the end they can be viewed here..

those that used to bring us joy
are now the source of our sorrow
those that used to make us laugh
now dare to bring tears to our eyes
those that couldn’t wait to see us
now refuse us into their presence
is death such a controller of minds
that it would turn us so
that those who once were our angels
become those that would torment us
it takes the soul
but it is not enough
so it brings us sorrow as well
but never shall it kill our beloved memories
those shall live inside us
till the end of eternity
they become our comforters

I wish I had the words to express how I feel. When I finelly got the news of what had happened I was at work and you could have heard my heart stop for a moment. Jenn was a true friend, she loved to just sit and talk and have her "drink" while we played then it would be "AFK: Need to make me another drink". But she could always make me smile no matter what. When I finelly joined VoE after being on the road for a long time I was at my first raid with her and she sends me a tell saying to disband my group so we can make are own. Then after that just about every raid we went on together we always grouped up cause she always made everything fun. There will always be a place in my heart for her. John I will always remember her favort saying when it was timew to port..."Jonting". I still say that out load when ever I get a port. John if you ever need anything just drop myself or Kal a line our door is always open for you.

My deepest condolences :(

I never knew Aeonn, but I remember seeing her running around. I first saw her back when I was a little druidling, and I wanted to be like her one day.

The gathering last night to remember Aeonn brought together many people who knew her and loved her. Many of us had lost touch with Aeonn and with each other as well. We drifted away from each other, as it happens in rl as well. It is always a sad thing when it takes something like this to bring us all back in touch with each other.
I have some pictures of those who attended the service, may they serve as a reminder of those we know and care about, but for what ever reason..we lose contact with. Also as a rememberance of Aeonn and what she meant to so many people.

Service in honor of Aeonn (http://www.risingthunder.com/cgi-bin/emAlbum.cgi?cmd=show_thumbs&path=Service%20for%20Aeonn&tn=1)

I knew her, and if only in passing she always had good words to say, and much love for those around her. She will be missed.

Good bye, Aeonn. Would that I have been able to summon you a new heart. Sleep well sweet princess....may flights of angels sing thee to thy sleep.

Aeonn was one of the first people to help me out, was a friendly and warm person, and it was an honour and priveledge to get to know her, albeit only in an online world. She was wild and fun and sweet, but all of you know that. What can I say, I'm at a loss for words.

Just last week I was telling my boyfriend about her, and how the only thing I miss about EQ is some of the amazing people I got to know... I talked a long time about her.

I pray her family is holding up, remembering all the wonderfulness about her, and feel how lucky they were to have her in their lives. I feel lucky just having played with her.

Goodbye, Aeonn. You were, are, and always will be a Blessing.

Thanks to Rukulis, I have posted a few pictures that include Jenn in them.

http://lunatiq.org/aeonn

I hope to host the transcript of the in-game memorial service as well but we'll see. If I do it'll be at the above link.

It is with a heavy heart I write this. I have known Aeonn since my Vivix Protectorate days. She has always been there for me whenever I needed help and a friend. She is the kind of person that touches your heart leaving an everlasting impression. She has certainly touched mine and I will never forget her kindness that she has shown to myself and to others.

EQ to many is just a game, never realising that there is a real person behind the many characters we play. I have never met Jen and John in person, but, I have met and seen their kind, humble hearts. I can see from the many posts that she has touched many lives and it does not come as a surprise to me. She was a great person. I miss her deeply and EQ will never be the same for me anymore.

John, bro, please accept my deepest condolences. Please also let me know in what way I can help you. /Hugs

Thanks every one who has posted screen shots and pictures, and a Big thanks to every one who happend to pass through Gfay when we were all there, every one was very respectful on what was going on with all of us there.

Hail,

I found out shortly after hearing about Jen’s passing from a good friend and I don't know why it took me this long to respond. I wasn’t sure what to say or what to feel but I knew that losing someone you know either through an avatar in a game or a person you met and touched is never easy. I knew her joy, her love for people and happiness from the game and reading her posts. She was a person you could count on whether you where a veteran or a noob to the game. Though I never got to know her half as well as many people here have on this board has gotten to know her, I feel that what I have taken from her shall be with me and that is not something that her passing can take from me or from you.

My deepest sympathy to her family and closest friends.

This is trully heartbreaking. I just found out today, I have not been reading the boards or have been on EMarr lately. Sasfai, my condolences, I just don't know what to say, so sorry to find out about this, I wish I would have known earlier to attend the memorial.

I knew Aeonn for a long time and was in VP and VoE with her and she always brought a smile to my face, it was funny when she would say that my cleric's name reminded her of a Pantera song and the couple of times we talked about real life stuff and her job. She will be missed.

I don't get on the boards much anymore, so sorry I did not see this sooner.

Just wanted to send my love out to you Sasfai, you and Aeonn were always great friends in game, and I am sorry I never got the chance to see you guys at a fan fair or anything.

Best of luck to you bud, my thoughts are with you.

-Igota/Chezo

I can't say I knew either of you personally. However with the company you kept from the above posts I know I can say beyond the shadow of a doubt that you were great people to know.

Losing the love of your life is never easy, whether you're 30 or 80 years old. It's still the biggest loss one could ever not wish for. I hope that you can make it through this trying time with as little of grief as possible, and that Jen is watching your back as much if not more so than when she was here in body and spirit.

My condolences mano, may everything work out for the best.

I was fortunate enough to meet Jen and John while at Fanfaire in Chicago. We were sitting in a pub when one of us recognized the other's name. I can't remember which...too much ale. Anyway, we started talking about a mutual friend we had...Carter. stories started going and before long I had him on the phone. It was nice to meet two people Carter(Grammaw/Myzzan/Lyllyth/Jhosie) had spoken so highly of. This news today has just floored me. I know it did Carter as well.

My heartfelt prayers and sympathy go out to John and their families.

I did not know Aeonn, but, Sasfai has been a long time friend of mine, since the old days in Oasis at the highway. My heart goes out to him and the rest of his family for their loss.

I wrote a much longer message before this one but it was lost when I tried to post it. I don't want to go through writing it again. It hurt enough the first time. I just found out about an hour ago what happened. Aeonn was a special person and she left a mark on everyone who knew her. I'm going to have a hard time accepting that she's really gone. I really wish that I had never checked these message boards. Until an hour ago she was still out there somewhere in my world and I looked forward to running in to her on EQ2. This is a selfish thing to say but I'm glad I never met her in real life. Just knowing her online and having to deal with this is hurtful enough. I feel really terrible right now and I don't think I could possibly imagine what Sasfai is going through. I hope he works through this and everyone who is capable is there for him. I still treasure the now bitter sweet memories that I have of her. Her life was short but her flame burned so bright it burned itself out. I think this is the only place where I can trust that other people could understand just how important a friend can be even if you only met them in a fantasy world. I just wish I could convince myself that she's still out there somewhere lost in that fantasy world.

I hope everyone including myself finds a way to work through this,

Updated - transcript of the in-game memorial service is now posted. Sorry I took so long.

Back when I first started playing EQ I had the wonderful experience of playing in the company of Sasfai and Aeonn. It is a great understatement to say that the news of Jen's death saddens me. Aeonn was the kind of person where just having her send a tell brightened your day. She went out of her way to help me countless times. I remember her with me when I got my epic. We danced and wooted together. Aeonn was the best guildmate and an even greater friend. My heart goes out to your loss Sasfai. She will be missed.

P.S. Theodwyn, if you read this and if you get the chance, I think you might have those pics when I got my epic and Aeonn was there. If you do, can you send them to me at kmabry@wesleyan.edu.

Hey Guys,

I stumbled across this thread by chance. I am Jenny's real life cousin. The support you all have shown for Jenn here is just unbelievable and I want to tell you how much I appreciate it.

Our family doesnt have many recent pictures of Jenn so I have started to download all that I can find from this site. Our family only knows EQ as a game that took up a lot of Jenns time, but I know its much more than that. It is a place where friends are made, and in my personal opinion where some of the coolest people in the world hang out. Jenn got me playing EQ years ago. I havent played in about 2 years or so because of some changes in my own life but it was a great deal of fun while it lasted.

Jenn is missed more than anyone could imagine. I am crying as I type this because it is so hard for me to even think about it. I was there for most of the time that she was in the hospital, and it was a time I would rather forget. I've never seen anyone on that much life support other than in the movies. How something like this could happen to someone so young is beyond me. The family is still looking for solid answers as to what happened, and it may be something we never have the answer too.

If anyone has any pictures of Jenn they care to share, or perhaps threads she has taken part in I would love to have them. I dont have access to many of the forums that are linked to in this thread so I cannot access them myself. If you all wouldnt mind emailing me these things, I would love to pass them on to the family. I am also willing to chat with any of you about Jenn. I can be reached at chris.miller@glidetech.com

Thanks again for everything guys. This thread means so much to me, and I have already printed it for the family to see.

WE MISS YOU JENN!! :(

I am also printing a copy of this off to get to John. He will be leaving for Alaska on April 30th but I am guessing he will show up in game once he gets up there.

Thanks again to everyone who took time to remember Jenn. We think about her every day.

Hello All,

Aeonn/Jenn was my cousin also. After speaking with my other cousin Chris Miller (above), I was able to access this site also. It's great to see that Jenn has so many friends and people who care about her.

I moved away from the family 8 years ago. Jenny and I weren't as close these last few years like we were in high school. But I remember her being just as you all are describing her. I've heard something about the word Jaunting. Sounds just like Jenny to make up something silly to shout out at certain times. She was a riot!

Unfortunately, I was one of those people who thought EQ was a little time consuming and pointless, but I see now that it is much more than that. I was wondering if anyone has any pictures of Jenny's character in EQ. If I know correctly, each person is responsible for creating their own character right? I know Jenn was very artistic and creative and I'm sure her character rocked. If anyone has any pics to share or just wants to talk, please email Msjohnson21@aol.com

Thanks again to everyone. Jenny will be dearly missed but she will be with each and every one of us. Keep her near your heart.

We love you Jenny!
