A truely sad time for all.

My deepest condolences to iSpork and the rest of Zasha's family.

While I never really spoke with Zasha, the interaction with her "fans" and acquaintences here at the BEA, her artwork, and her profile (her own architectural design firm!) showed us all what a truely remarkable and strong woman she was.

There is currently a small memorial for her on the home page of my Gallery (members and free sections).    

The tribute on your page is very toutching. You Honor her well.
THANK YOU

[DruulEmpire]

And thank you, Wreck, for having arrived with your distinctive artwork in just this past sad week.

Wow.  This community continues to amaze me.  You all have me completely floored.

I knew that she had many friends and acquaintences, but as some have mentioned, there are many that she never knew.

I cannot express how much I appreciate all of your well wishes, prayers and support.

I was making it through this thread ok, until I saw Bustartist's page.  I was overcome.  Thank you, Bustartist.

Thank you, everyone who has posted...Words cannot express what I feel.

I am doing my best to think happy thoughts...As some have said, I would encourage all to do the same.

Today is the first time I've been on the site in almost a week, and one of the first things I see is the "Favorite Zasha Post" thread in the OT forum. I always start in the OT. I came to this thread next, and I'm having a world of trouble finding words even though I know there are no right ones.
_iSpork, my thoughts, prayers, and condolences to you and your family and friends. Zasha, may you have been in heaven half an hour before the devil even knew about it. God speed .  

[Bizarro_Penguin]

I can't say that I knew her or knew OF her very well, but nonetheless, I am very sorry to hear about this. I'm sincerely sorry.. and may she rest in peace.

It brings me a little happiness knowing that I did dedicate my match Saturday in memory of Zasha.  It will bring me even more happiness as I defend my newly won championship in her honor as well.  I definately had an angel watching over me during the match, and that angel's name was Zasha.

Thank you sweet princess, for your memory has become an inspiration for me.  I will never forget you.

I never knew this obviously wonderful woman, however I was a regular visitor to her corner of the BEA, I feel for your loss.

The only thing that I can offer is what my father used to tell me when something as tragic as this happens,
"Son," he would say "I like to think of the red indians belief at this time, they used to say that the person you  mourn for is not really gone, not until the very last person that remembers her has passed on themselves..."

Zasha, you have obviously touched so many lives with your magic that you will live on in our hearts and thoughts forever.

To iSpork and everyone else, I am making preperations to complete my "Dedication to Zasha" pic. I want to capture a sense of what she was about as well as express the sadness of her loss...

When it is completed I shall display it in this thread. I hope iSpork will be pleased. I will give it my best effort.

One of the things that Zasha told me ( and I hope if I am incorrect that someone will address that ) was that she never liked to be viewed in a "weak" way. Not all cute and cuddlely ( even though she DID say that stuff has its place ).

She also said that she didn't like pictures of herself being posted everywhere. However, I have one that she allowed me to have and as I mentioned in another thread, I would like to include just her face in it. I also wanted to add a few effects like Fire and Metal since she, herself, told me she liked things that represented "strength."

Upon finishing my project I will include it in this thread, and should iSpork have any objections to it, I fully understand and it can be removed ( the only reason I say that is because of Zasha mentioning her photos being used in ways she didn't approve ).

If iSpork approves of it, and anyone likes it, feel free to add it to any memorials you have in mind. It is a dedication to this remarkable woman and I hope it will make many people happy.

I'll do my best.

I can't speak for anyone else, especially Zasha and iSpork, but I feel you should leave her picture out of it. How about assembling all of her avatars instead?

[Zorro]

Or, if I may be permitted to suggest, why not send it to iSpork for approval before uploading it to the BEA? This way, HM, you won't be subject to any negative feedback or critisizm and it would be something special.

Another approach would be to PM iSpork and tell him your ideas. He may have more input or suggestions that would make it a top notch tribute.

The main thing is that Heavy Metal has a nice gesture to remember Zasha with and whatever the final product is I feel his intentions are to show his particular way of showing it.  

[sheber]

I cannot and will not deny him that.

[HeavyMetal1980]

I PM'ed iSpork my intentions.

I will proceed depending on his response.  

[XairiousSyn]

I didn't ever speak with Z, and I hardly ever post to this forum, and yet I'm still absolutely crushed that this has happened, I felt like I knew her just from all the posts she had made. It's always terrible to find out that a friend,(even if they didn't know you considered them a friend) has passed, and in such a tragic way.

I'd just like to take this moment to say I consider all of you my friends, and I'm glad I can come to this site and read all the wonderful things that you write. I would be deeply saddened if ANY of you passed.

ISpork, I wish there was something I could do for you. Please, don't be a stranger after you're done taking care of your personal business. I'm sure all of us here have no problem consoling or just trying to cheer you up. I pray that we don't lose anymore wonderful people to such stupidity.

"Hugs to everyone"

It appears that I have missed much in my absence.  My condolences to her husband.

[Lightfoot]

It's hard to imagine she's dead.  It's almost like somehow it's a mistake.

I regret not knowing her very well.
