Didn't We Have a Poster named Kiko at CSB?

[Joe Guy]

Check out this CSB link.

eta: Yes we did. She is listed as a member at CSBII. I'm sure there are people that will remember her much better than I do.

[Gob]

We did.

She had a long history of ill health, I remember having a long telephone conversation with her while she was in hospital recovering from, I think I'm right in saying, heart surgery.

Unfortunately she became one of the Gwenditec crew towards the end of the CSB, and I ended up ignoring her, ("Steve in a bra" was how one member described her.)

Though I will say I'm saddened to hear of her passing, RIP Kiko.

[Joe Guy]

Okay... now I remember her. She was sympathetic to the oddball trio.

This is sad to hear. I wonder how old she was?

November 15, 1953 ~ January 7, 2014

[Joe Guy]

60 years old. Too young.

Did you know her real name, Crackpot?

[Crackpot]

Yes

Though It wouldn't be too hard to find out from a facebook search.

[Joe Guy]

Thanks. I was just curious as to how well you and others may have known her.

[Gob]

Her name was Rebecca / Becs, if I remember rightly.

[MajGenl.Meade]

Yes, Becky it was.

[Lord Jim]

I'm very sorry to hear this...

She was a bit of an oddball with some of her views, (embracing a lot of conspiracy stuff) but she was never vicious towards other posters or dishonest about them. (As I recall, unlike some others she honestly admitted checking out Plan B) despite deep disagreements on many things, I always had a cordial and civil relationship with her. All in all she seemed to be a pretty gentle soul. (Even if she had fallen in with unfortunate company.)

I also recall the health issues, but as someone else said 60 is way too young. My sincere sympathies to her family and loved ones.

RIP
I remember her a little.
Sad. I'm only 4+ years youner than her.
IF anyone is in contact with family, send my condolences.

Thanks for posting that @W.

[MajGenl.Meade]

What he said - thanks. Kiko Vi and I didn't communicate much on FB but each passing diminishes us all, even if just a little.

[Gob]

Yes, thanks TPFKA@W.

[Econoline]

Thanks, Joe, and thanks, Bette. I didn't know her but I do remember her vaguely from CSB; that's too young to die.

I posted a short reply over at CSB thanking Loca for letting us know, and letting her know that there were folks over here who were saddened by the news.

[rubato]

That is a shame. Kiko was a very genuine soul.

Was she coping with MS? Or am I mis-recalling?

yrs,
