This is a poster moreso from the first decade of the AO (so the name may not mean much to a lot of you), but Pillow passed away suddenly last Sunday.
Pillow and I first started talking on the AO and became good friends, and at one point worked together at MegaInsuranceCompany for a couple of years. She even played a large role in me meeting MrsUA, and MrsUA and I were a small part in helping at Pillowās and MrPillowās wedding.
I eventually moved on to other companies in different cities, but she stayed there and had a good life going with her family and career. After I left MegaInsuranceCompany we kept in touch somewhat regularly, but as time went on we talked less and less as our lives became busy. We hadnāt talked for a long while, but we still exchanged Christmas cards and such, and I kept thinking off and on that I should meet up with her for lunch again sometime and catch up in person⦠but now thatās not going to happen.
Since I canāt say it to you in person any more, Iāll say it here: Thanks for everything, Pillow - I was glad to have you in my life.
I remember Pillow. Iām sorry to hear she died, and condolences on your loss.
Thereās enough overlap between posters on the old AO and here that if you want to start a new thread to talk about her, I think that would be completely appropriate. Or maybe you have said everything you want to say.
Pillow was somebody who I considered to be a good friend even though we only met face-to-face just once and we have drifted apart as the years have moved on⦠She was a wonderful person who brought much happiness to those around her. As sad as I am though, my heart absolutely breaks for her husband and two sons. RIP, my sweet and kind friend.
I didnāt know Pillow IRL but I do remember her from the AO Fantasy Baseball League where she participated for a season or two. She seemed nice from my limited interactions with her. RIP
Iāve never met most of the people Iāve met āon lineā. Iām fairly close to some of them despite that. I wasnāt close to Pillow, though, although I remember her fondly.
