Farewell Ol' Friend

Post by Galvatron »

It saddens me to deliver such bad news.
Our good TFL friend Dirge has passed away 6-22-2012.
A massive heart attack is what happened. Dirge was only 29.

so long ol' friend.

I have known Derrick since 2008. We became good "online" friends.
We would spend hours chatting on MSN. We did a lot of TF trading over the years.

DIRGE WILL BE MISSED.

Dirge was such a great friend. :cry: We've talked almost every day on MSN since I met her back in '09. She had such a huge heart and would do anything to help anybody out. Totally in shock this happened so suddenly and to somebody so young. :cry:

Im very sad about this I spent many hours talking with him through a lot of his tough times and I wish I had gotten a chance to meet him before he passed. This was a terrible shock to me :(

Rest in peace my friend, may God bless you and keep you safe and may you now be reunited with Rose.

your friend Shade

I can't believe it, she was so young!
Dirge was a good friend indeed. Over the years we have spent many hours chatting on MSN, discussing this and that. She was often troubled, and sometimes struggled hard to get by. Although, despite setbacks and hardships she always seemed to pull through. I'm so sorry to hear that things ended up this way...
Rest in peace my friend, you will be missed.

I am absolutely distraught at this news. I can't believe that Derrick/SJ is gone. Derrick guided me through my darkest hours when Debbie left me all those years ago. I guided him through his when Kath and him seperated. He spoke to me about his change before it became public knowledge. Derrick was a an amazing person and a wonderful friend. We spoke on the phone more times than I can remember and I had the privilege to meet him at AA a few years ago, along with Kup and Rumble. I pray that she is in a happy place and a we all do I mourn the loss of a very special person and an even more special friend.

Rest In Peace old friend.

It's hard to believe Dirge has passed. To be so young and to pass so suddenly. I have know Dirge for many years. I am saddened to lose a good friend.

To know others you must know yourself first!

I'm so sorry to have found this out.

Dirge was such a kind, wonderful person, and so ready and willing to defend and take care of others who couldn't for themselves. I hope 'K has peace wherever she is.

Terrible news. I talked to her very little, but still saddened by the sudden loss of a good, kind person.

I was so speechless about hearing this. Dirge was a very cool person and will be terribly missed on MSN and on the Realm. Even though I am extremely sad about this sudden death but now Dirge can reunite with Rose up there and watch over us. You will always be missed, my dear friend. Now with Claire's death, my condolences go even further to their family. :(

Both we've lost to unfortunate circumstances. Dirge was funny as heck to be around, both in the RP and the day to day forums. Always made me smile when I saw the goofy posts. Will be sorely missed. Nobody will be able to reproduce that slapstick humor, Not even Galvatron, although he comes close.

The RP has been sorely inactive for sometime. Everybody is busy and that is understandable. I personally wouldn't mind attempting to reboot it, or attempt to continue where we left off.

Dirge and I set each other up on the RPG. It was a major thing we would talk about on msn. She was awesome to RPG with. Dirge can never be replaced.

In the RPG, she could be serious when needed and very detailed. Or she can be obnoxious and comical.
I always enjoyed when Dirge and Rumble teamed up.
That is some of the funniest stuff right there.

Now Dirg'es sister too!!?? Holy crap! How horrible

Speechless.
Far over the Misty Mountains cold, To dungeons deep and caverns old. The pines were roaring on the height, The winds were moaning in the night, The fire was red, it flaming spread, The trees like torches blazed with light.
