We received some sad news last night. DU member blondeatlast has passed away.

[Skinner]

She died Sunday morning, June 12, 2011, of a stroke. One of her sisters sent us an email last night to let us know.

According to her sister, while on a flight to Hawaii she developed a headache and lost consciousness. The plane returned to LAX airport where she was taken to UCLA Medical Center and admitted to a neuroscience intensive care unit. She never regained consciousness and was removed from life support Sunday morning about 10:00 am. She held on for about 25 minutes with very little struggle.

She is survived by her son, her estranged husband, and her two sisters. The body will be cremated and returned to Phoenix, Arizona where she lived. Funeral plans are pending.

Her sister suggested that anyone wishing to make a memorial contribution in her name should make it to the Juvenile Diabetes Society or to DU.

Rest in peace, blondeatlast. :cry:

thank you for posting, Skinner. K&R

[donquijoterocket]

171. indeed

Second that including the thanks to Skinner.I suppose that the only comfort to us the living is that her passing was apparently relatively peaceful-without struggle or undue pain. Given the sort of community which exists here John Donne's words seem most appropriate. We are diminished by her passing, but enriched by her life.

[Cleita]

10. Oh that's very sad.

She was such a great DUer. My condolences to her family.

40. That is a bummer

I've always been partial to blondes, so her name stood out for me. Was she older? Fifties? Sixties? Forties?

In any case, I don't want anyone else passing away here without at least two weeks notice.

And speaking of that, where the heck are Hannah Bell and Statistical?

when someone is lost the family sends word and everyone thinks good thoughts and expresses their sadness. It must be a wonderful comfort to the family and close friends. I'm sure it helps immensely trying to deal with the grief.

We never did :(

RIP.

[hlthe2b]

327. Jillian, would you be able to post the obituary... or perhaps

a funeral home link that might have a way to post to an online memorial book? I know I would really appreciate it.

I really liked her and as you, wish I'd had the chance to meet her. :loveya:

[jillan]

352. You know what - I don't get the Tucson paper. I wonder if it will be online?

What was her real name?

[hlthe2b]

357. Oh, dear... I was hoping you knew....

Maybe Skinner will see if the family would permit him to post it?

[pinboy3niner]

My heart aches for her family!

You were always one of my favorites here, and one of the few actually liked me lol :-)

[Anakin Skywalker]

342. :-( D.U.'s lost a great one. She will be missed!

I remember often times commenting on her posts/responses and vice versa. She always was one of the nicest, most cordial people here on D.U.

She's such a regular here that it truly is hard to believe she is suddenly with us no more?

[akbacchus_BC]

343. This is so very sad. Thanks Skinner for letting us know. I really

liked her and enjoyed her posts, she was such a breath of fresh air and I really liked her handle.

355. Oh, no, I can't believe that!

She was a paralegal, like I used to be, and we had many conversations about legal work. Her poor son, he's only a teenager, too. RIP, BAL, you were truly one-of-a-kind. :cry: :cry: :cry:

It especially saddens me to think what her SOB husband put her through her last few years of life, cheating on her with a younger skank, putting her through hell. She didn't deserve that, and she was just starting a new life, too.

[donheld]

356. So sorry

[JackBeck]

358. Tons of love to her family and all of us on DU who cherished her friendship.

I absolutely adored her and will miss her kind words whenever we had the opportunity to interact not only here on DU, but also the bonds created elsewhere. Words can't express how sad I am for her son and sisters.

BAL and I corresponded off list for over two years, plus she was a FB friend, but I hadn't heard from her for a month or two. This is very upsetting news. Thanks for letting us know.

Today I will celebrate her life and the fragility of us all. :cry:

My condolences to her husband, son, sisters and to all those who loved her.

Rest in peace, Blondeatlast.

:cry:

[Evoman]

411. I mourn all the DUers we've lost, but this one got me extra good.

Though some DUers are known to me, it's different when it's someone who you've actually PMed and talked to directly. Rest in peace, Blondatlast. :cry:

[JCMach1]

412. So sad...

[Kerrytravelers]

413. Damn it!

We really need to create a DU Memorial Wall for all those who have passed.

Really. And link it to something where we can look at their previous posts. Something. Anything. There have been too many of us that have left. I still miss Kendra, my email pal. :cry:

[demmiblue]

414. Kick (in case some have not heard about this sad news).

:cry:

[Kurovski]

415. This is so shocking.

I've been offline for so long and to come back and see this...she was a strong, tough, smart and funny member of DU. She was (and always will be in these pages) the kind of person who makes DU the special place it is.

And far too young...thank you to her sister for thinking of us, and condolences to the family. This is an enormous loss.

[sufrommich]

416. Just heard this today on another thread. So incredibly sad.

I'll miss her posts.

[dixiegrrrrl]
