Ishtaria´s Memorial
This just tells us how precious life is and how short a time we have here. Let's make the best of it. Life can get pretty tough for all of us. Some encounter heavier burdens than others. It's up to us all to learn from this and to keep a thought in the back of our mind that everyone is sooooo important.
Ishtaria, you are missed and I really believe someone like you will be well cared for in the next life. I know you will be fine.
I think the best way to honor Ish is to continue to let her influence be felt in the world. Remember her. Care for and help others. Do your best without getting hung up on mistakes. Do what you think is right. Cliches maybe, but they are not when you don't mouth them but simply live them like Ish did.
I hope Ish and all touched by her find the peace and happiness that she was seeking for and would have wanted all of us to have.

Ish was obviously a talented person of many gifts who was loved by many people. Her passing leaves an emptiness where once there was a love. Somehow she could not see her way through a time in her life that was immensely painful for her. How can we somehow honor her life now?
Here's how:
We can love more deeply, forgive more easily, give of ourselves more freely, be kinder, more charitable, be better listeners, comforters, and lovers. We can honor Ish's life, and her contribution to our lives by loving each and every person God puts in our lives better than we did before, and try to do even better each day.
We are here to love. Ish's life and death reminds us that we still have a chance, its not too late. Let your light shine in this dark world.

Farewell, Ish... Alexa and I hardly knew ye...
I, myself, have wonderful computer skills (Windows 9x/2000/XP, Mac OS 9 and X and some {but not much} Linux), but probably not as much as Ish. Of course, I can get a domain registered and a basic web page up, but probably not like how Ishtaria had done.
Fortunately, I am glad of what she had done to get something like this off the ground and running, now with 13,000-plus members.
Gee, the things you learn after about four months of being away...
But, in any case, farewell, Ish. I hardly knew ye. Hope you emerge in your next life as someone wonderful as you were in this one.

Ish's death
It's sad to hear about one of member have pass away.
My condolences
MY SYMPATHIES TO HER FAMILY.
Sorry i don't read the entire post butthis came as a total surprise and shock to me as i just found out minutes ago, TODAY.
You see i usually do NOT visit this site but once a week and mostly browse the forum amd gallery.
This webite is SOOOOO extensive that i missed out on awhole lot of things includng this sad news.
My experiece with Ishatria was not a plesant one, however.
She did ban me once and i had to re-register. Man she wasn't kidding when she threatened to ban me. Thought she might've overreacted.
I like that in a woman though. Strong willed and determined.
Young (?) pretty and smart, how did she lose her home?
You'd think she'd be the ideal candidate doing some major computer work for some corporation. I wish I'd gotten to know her better, on her good side.
Well farewell my lady. RIP!

I would have never dreamed that I would this day be alone in a small apartment with teary
eyes writing to someone I could never possibly know.
Ishtaria, I never knew you ever existed until today when I, out of curiosity, clicked on the in-memory link.
Yet, somehow I will miss you.
I have been where you were the day you died. It is a horribly lonely
place.
Seeing how much joy you brought to the lives of the forum members creates a sense of joy in me- maybe even hope.
It is obvious that the forum loved you and will miss you.
I wish you well in the next phase of your journey...

I deeply sorrow for the loss of a bright, shining light. Ish, I think of you often and wish things had turned out differently.
You are not forgotten.
