A Sad, Sad Message in my Mail

I just received this email.

"Dear Mr. Cleveland,
I am a close personal friend of Nancy Anderson whom you may know as
"Cyli". I was with her today in the nursing home she is at and she
requested I contact you concerning her situation. Sadly, Nancy passed
away Tuesday evening at 10 pm. She had long been suffering with
cancer.
I was with her near the end and she was sleeping peacefully.

I found you via the posts in rec.outdoors.fishing.fly.

I am sorry to bring this news. I will miss her dearly.

If I can be of service feel free to contact me at this email address.


Sincerely,
AA"

I'm speechless right now. I'll try to post more later.

Whoa.

Cyli's calm demeanor in this nuthouse (and r.b.) was always a wonder
to me, though I never met her.

Here's to hoping the squirrels are speaking to her, and that the
willows now bend low, weeping for our loss and her moving on.

Dear George,
I'm sorry to hear about Cyli, I never knew she was Nancy Anderson or had
cancer from reading most of her cheerful post to ROFF. My condolences to her
family and friends.

Wow. That is a sad thing to hear.

Thanks for passing this on, George. It's indeed very sad to learn of
her passing. I've found myself thinking about the choices people make
in deciding how much to share about what's going in their lives,
health-wise, and where they share it. I appreciate and respect
everyone's individual choices, but I am definitely thinking about the
fact that I didn't know anything about her situation from her posts.
I enjoyed her presence, here.

Truly sorry to learn of Cyli's passing. I always enjoyed her
commentary.
My condolences to her family and friends.

Very sad. Makes one reflective of the people we've been interacting with
for a decade or so here. When Cyli was looking her maker in the eye, she
still found the time to come around and say hi.

SNIPPED...and if it had contained even the slightest hint indicating
it was intended to be posted to a NG, I'd have left it alone...

Um, well, I hate to break it to ya, Scott, but you're looking YOUR maker
in the eye...you may just be doing so from a little further away....

And according to the email, "Cyli" wanted George to know of her
situation, not the whole ****ing world...or even all of ROFF...

And so, I'll not comment on something that I may not be supposed to
know,

Nancy was always good to me here and in my private communications with her.
She was a kind, gentle, forgiving soul as evidenced by her abilty to put up
with all of our crap here. Ever the voice of reason and calm, she will be
sorely missed.

Her ROFF Bouncer jersey will be raised to the rafters and retired. May her
feet be cooled by the waters she now wades.
