Chère Rheta
My heart is split in half on this sunny monday morning, as we all got the news of your tragic departure. Not a bad way to go for the ultimate self-proclaimed drama queen, but you know, you could have waited a bit longer before leaving us like that.
I will always remember you Rheta. What I thought was just another gushing fangirl revealed herself to be one of the most heartwarming, integer, loving and caring person I ever had the chance to know. It pains me like you have no idea to know that I won’t be able to share a giggle with you and debate about deeply philosophical subjects as we often did.
I will always remember the fake humility behind which you hid your brilliance, your wit, and your incredibly generous heart. A person with such your culture should have never hidden so clumsily but that humility also made you a better person, more empathic and more sensitive than anyone I have ever known in any life.
Rheta, I can barely stop sobbing between each keystroke, but you would be the first to tell me I have to be strong, for you and for everyone that ever loved you, and for everyone you ever loved. But oh Rheta, how cruel is this world if it deprives us of you.
This is not the last time I will talk to you Rheta, not by a longshot. Everytime I will have a difficult choice to make, I will think of what you would tell me. Maybe you didn’t know it my love, but you made the world a better place for us all to live in.
Goodnight, my sweet Rheta… I love you

Oh Codie. <3
I’m so sorry about this Codie. You have no idea how close to home this hits… I just lost my cousin to a auto accident the beginning of April and had just seen her at my Father’s funeral 10 days prior. One just never knows.
This is by far a terrible tragedy.. My heart goes out to you and her family and friends.

Your tribute was beautiful, your assessment of her character right on the mark. If ive left SL, then why is my heart broken? Because her impact on me, you, and so many others was utterly real.
