You should give her account unlimited premium as a memorial.

Sad news had occurred in the past, and will occur again.
I have learned taking nothing for granted -- including some shocking personal experience. As for friends and family, it is better to care them when the opportunity is there as there is no assurance if you can wait another day to care and love. If there is one thing you can assure, people you care and also yourself will one day leave.

Kyrin and I were close friends, had even dated for a while. We'd even had our characters "married" when she was still on the Cerberus server. I agree with the above quote completely... When she was mad, Kyrin just wouldn't talk to you. I couldn't figure out what I had done to set her off, now I wish she had just been angry...
I'll always miss her. I would have posted here earlier but I've spent the last couple of days stewing over it and am just finally back to work. I will miss her sense of humor, and miss the time we spent watching Doctor Who or talking about movies or books. She was reading The Dark Is Rising books by Susan Cooper at my recommendation, and there were parts I was looking forward so much to hear what she'd thought.

I never cared for her and wanted her to leave the OOT, but not under these circumstances. My condolences to her family and friends.

I'm sorry for your loss, and I so understand this feeling.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

I have often regretted to myself how I have treated some of my family and friends. Why was I stupid enough to do this and that, and now the chance to fix it may be gone forever.
Kyrin, as you said, was a little grumpy and hard to deal with sometimes, but she meant no harm, and I think she was genuinely nice -- good people have a temper anyway. That grumpiness become a memory for her as being part of a good friend of mine.
Continue onwards with an acknowledgment and remember to the past, and acknowledge also that you, like everyone else, will one day no longer be here. Best to do what is no regret to others and self. You never exactly know what will happen next, and do what you can to take whatever opportunity to care for now.

I didn't know Kyrin though the feelings of losing a friend are far from unknown to me and I offer my very sincere condolences to those of you who knew her.

I am going to ask later today when I see Alla or Drak. I'd do it, but since it's lifetime premium, I really have to get an ok from a bossy type higher than me.

Wow.
When someone dies in real life, it's a visceral depression of mourning. When they die and you only knew them online, there's almost a feeling of disbelief. You can't wrap your mind around the fact that the body that was behind the cute Lilsette avatar is no longer living and breathing and is no longer going to make funny posts in your threads.
We lost one of our linkshell members to a rare, sudden cancer last November. In memorial, we're not taking him off the LS roster. I think Alla should do the same -- keep her account in perpetual Premium as a sort of token of remembrence.

This is very sad. My heart goes out to her family and friends. In times like these it really does make you think back to how mortal we all are. I, for one, will be letting my family know how much I love them.
This makes me think of a quote from Maya Angelou:
“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
Go home and make someone feel special. You never know what could happen tomorrow.

First of all, my condolences go out to the family. Tragedy should never strike someone so young. After that, I can say to any of her friends or family that come to read this thread that she was an interesting poster, and always had a good attitude.

I remember her specifically from the avatar she used.
Such a shame, a terrible loss :( I sincerely wish her family and friends my deepest condolences.

No it's not. Sometimes it's heroic, or deserved.

This is a shame. Insofar as you can know anyone from a few forum posts, she seemed like a great gal. I hope her family and friends get all the comfort and support they need during this time, and I wish them peace.

My condolences to her family and friends for the pain they must feel. A bunch of posters on a message board may not mean much to them, but it was obvious how much she meant to many on here.

I'm upset... It's a strange thing to think about. 
We chatted on FFXI now and then.
