Dear Rosencrantz,

I am so sorry to hear the news.  It has been an honor to have you here on the Board, and your presence has been a blessing to many Board members when they were in need.  When I think about the history of the Board, yours is one of the first names that immediately jumps to mind.  I have always appreciated your wisdom, honesty, and willingness to openly share the painful parts of your life over the years, and I will never forget your contribution here.

As always,

Richard

Dear Rosencrantz,

I am very sorry. Your name is one of the earliest I remember when I first ventured onto VSMB years ago, and your openness gave me courage to share when I felt awkward and unsure.

Thank you for the grace of coming here to say your farewell. That has often haunted me--how, when people grow close here--do we cope with just not knowing?

Thank you for taking the time to post again and for having the grace and courage to share this message. I wish you every small comfort and peace on your journey.

Hopalong

Hello Rosencrantz,

I am a newer member to the board so don't know you from before.  But I read your post (and then some of your earlier ones) and I just wanted to say how sorry I am to read this.  Your son sounds lovely and a real credit to you.  I am so sorry I have only got to know of you now.

((((((((((((((((((((((((Rosencrantz))))))))))))))))))))))))

Love from Twoapenny

Dear ((((Rosencrantz, ))))

Your writing is lovely. I am relatively new to the board, so I didn't know you at the time you were most active. So sad that we had to meet like this.

Your son sounds wonderful.  I hope I do as well with mine.
