I couldn't think of her name but I knew she was missing. She had an Amelie avatar and a truly great sense of humor.

(39,379 posts)4. Thanks for remembering her
We had a lot of back-and-forth during Hillary/Obama; including some really hilarious exchanges, which was pretty rare at the time...she was swell.

(6,578 posts)5. I don't think she ever knew it, but she touched me greatly
I had never really been exposed to a transgender person up until I joined DU. I learned a lot from her.

(39,379 posts)6. I miss her, too
She could touch you personally. And when you see how accomplished she was it just adds up to a terrible human loss.
