I am sharing with you the devastating news that we received today. I am crying in my room in Beijing.
Saying goodbye to Fugu - Update: Obituary in OP
Hi all,
It’s with a very heavy heart that I deliver this news.
Fugu has entered the final phase in her four year long fight with metastatic breast cancer. On the advice of her doctors, and after discussion within her family, she entered hospice care on Saturday, Sept. 15th. She is being kept comfortable and has constant company from family and friends.
The community on HF Boards, and the many friends she had there, were a big part of her life and a constant source of conversation and enjoyment. For those of you who were her friends there, I want to thank you on her behalf for your friendship.
Charity:
We've decided to contribute as a group to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation | BCRF
Fugu is one of the pillars of the online hockey world. HFBoards in particular is heavily indebted to her wisdom, patience, and vision in building what has come to be a true community. Online moderators never sign up for the job for recognition — but Fugu was more than her job around here. She became a leader, an advocate, a confidant, and a “mom” of sorts to untold numbers of people who had no more in common with her than a mutual passion for this game. She will be remembered here, and never truly replaced.
Please take a moment to consider a donation in her honor (and when the time comes, in her memory).
Feel free to leave a comment, or just “like” this post to show her how many people she touched every single day.
