a wonderful person gone

[mickeym]

I don't know how many of you knew her, but Atara Stein has passed away. She was on LJ as astarte59; I knew her from way back in Star Trek fandom (message boards!) and then 'found' her again in the BtVS fandom.

She was a very creative, intelligent, interesting person. I know she struggled with MS a lot in the last few years, and while her passing leaves an empty spot, I hope she's happy and at peace wherever she is, now.

RIP, Atara.

Oh my God, Kim, oh my God. I didn't know she was so unwell. Oh no.

She was dx'd with MS a while back; I know when I found her again probably four, five years ago, she was already struggling with it. The last year or two in particular were rough for her. I can't believe she's gone, but I know it has to be better for her, now.

I didn't know her well, but I remember her from my Star Trek days. How very sad.

Oh, no. I'm so sorry to hear that. *hugs* I didn't know her, but all my support and sympathy to her family.

Oh MAN. I never knew her personally, but her name is a blast from the past, for sure. I am so sorry to hear this. Thank you for letting us know!

I'm so sorry to hear of this. I didn't know Atara personally, but I was a great fan of her ST fiction (lo these many, many years).

(I will be participating in an MS walk in a couple weeks, as my father has the disease; I will keep Atara in my thoughts as I walk.)
