Crazyhorse has passed away. He fought a very long and hard battle. He went in to get another lung transplant, since they messed up on the first set of lungs. Well this time these lungs came with a bacteria/fungus that attacked the incisions including where these lungs were attached to his body. It was something that could not be overcome.
He will be missed.

Terrible. Terrible. Terrible. RIP. His input was valuable to the board, always respected him. Didn't know him personally, but he seemed like a good person. Damn...

I think right about 5 years was when she passed as well.
Her body "dealt" with it but I don't think anything really worked to where it accepted it.
She never smoked, never drank, never did drugs. She got the big C and they caught it in time and got her on the list.
She was a very attractive light skinned black woman. When the services were held the wife brought back pictures they had of her and her family.
I flipped through the first few and thought "Wow, her parents were deeeeeep dark. There some family history they don't like to talk about?"
Then I saw some photos of her in HS and College. She was very dark as well. She didn't look like I knew her until she'd already had the transplant.
I'll admit it was the first time something made me want to quit smoking. I didn't. I still do. I'm a creature of bad habits.
If I'd lost that kind of pigment I'd be ****ing invisable.
Short story long anytime could be your time. Anything could happen.

Weird to think the Planet went so long in its initial inception without losing any members like this. At least not with our attention.
Now we've had several in the past years. And it's only going to get worse likely.
RIP.
