Nan Dibble - Fandom pays its respects

[caliente_uk]

Remembering Nan

If it hadn't been for Nan, I would never have found the S'cubie board (or LJ) in the first place, or had the opportunity to become a part of this fandom I love so much. Her words opened up a whole new world to me. I hope she knew how much she meant to so many people.

I hadn't had a proper conversation with Nan for some time, but I often came across comments from her on the Reading Rec thread over at S3 or on livejournal. RL issues had kept me away from the internet and the board for a while, but I always knew she was there. Seeing a comment from her always made me smile. She was never afraid to tell people exactly what she thought, but in her own unique way. I loved that about her. I loved her.

Nan was a remarkable woman. She was someone who I admired, and whose opinion I valued and respected. I wasn't as close to her as some of the S'cubies were, but I always considered her to be a friend. I hope she felt the same way about me.

I still can't believe she's gone. The world is an emptier place without her. I miss her already.

She was loved and respected by so many people. Under the cut are links to some of the many posts that have been appearing all over LJ since the news of Nan's passing broke, starting with the original devastating post from julia_here.



If anyone would prefer their link to be removed, please let me know. :)

This is a lovely tribute, Cal, and I'm honored to be part of it. Nan clearly touched so many -- from those who knew her, to those who simply knew of her. Thank you for posting this. *hug*

Thank you , Sharelle. I still can't quite get my head around the fact that she's gone. The tributes help a little. *hugs you*
