If a jelly passes away, is it okay to post it here on Fluther?

I would hope so. I want to know if we lose someone.

Did a jelly pass away?

I can’t imagine anyone wanting to remove such a post. Surely the community would want to know (or at least, those who knew the jelly concerned).

Who @Mama_Cakes?

I think we would all want to know.

What would prevent you from posting it?

Why wouldn’t it be? I can’t imagine a mod being curmudgeonly enough to remove a post about it.

But maybe word it as a Q just in case.

Did you know that…etc.

I hope this is just hypothetical.

Just chatting with a mod. Waiting to see what Auggie says.

Which means this is not hypothetical.

I didn’t even know anyone was sick. :-( unless its one of the ones who’s been gone a while.

@Mama_Cakes Is this not hypothetical?

Absolutely. We’d want to know, and be able to mourn as a community.

One caveat: Please make sure the information has been confirmed by a knowledgeable source.

Who?

I hope she comes back soon. I have a bit of anxiety over this.

:0(

Confirmation has been received, and a memorial thread has just been posted. I’m devastated. :’(

That is very sad. I did not know him, But I feel for all of you that did! :0(

Big hugs guys <3

Yes, of course, for as John Donne wrote so eloquently

No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
A clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend’s
Or of thine own were:
Any man’s death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.

I’m sitting here remembering how he made me laugh…

Retracted due to the serious nature of content. :-(

I love you, @Coloma but bad timing… We’ve really lost someone.

I missed the details, but made the catch. Truly sad, he was the exact age of my daughter. Tragic.
