Plaidman

[ExRetailDrone]

I only knew Plaidman from his posts here and over at Fratching, but he always came across to me as a really wonderful person with a very big heart and lots of love to give. I only wish he had felt he had as much love in return...he more than deserved it.

I hope that he is at peace and surrounded by love wherever he is, and that the next life will be easier on him than this one was.



Healing energy and thoughts to his family and friends that knew him better than I.

Holy cow!

I didn't know Plaid, except from his posts here at CS. I offer my condolences to his friends, and family. May he rest in peace.

I heard this morning, was at work all day and I still don't have any words.

Plaidy, we love you. We all love you, and we're going to miss you. Everyday.

Rest in peace, Plaidman. I only seen his posts on the board and hopefully, he is at peace now and no longer in pain.

I don't really have words enough at the moment, but if anyone needs to talk, even just to distract themselves a little bit, I'm here.

Rest in Peace Plaidman, you will be sorely missed.

This community has kept me going on days I didn't want to see the sun go down. There is always someone to listen and joke with or cry with. Thank you for telling us about Plaid.

May Plaid find the peace he never quite found here x

Okay, I think I can say more now.

Plaid, I'm sorry you may never have known what it truly was like to be loved.

I'm sorry you were in so much pain that you felt you had to end it this way.

I'm sorry things weren't quite the same between us for a while.

I'm sorry the last thing I ever said to you was don't eat at White Castle because it made me sick.

I hope you found peace wherever you are.

I hope I don't have to this again for a very long time--or ever.

I've been listening to "Calamity Song" by the Decemberists a lot today. I don't know the meaning of the song, but I find it comforting and appropriate for some reason.

Sometimes, life isn't fair.

Sometimes, life overwhelms us and we falter.

RIP, Plaid. I'm sure you've got a lot of love, human and feline, wherever you are.

RIP Plaidman.

I think I can finally post something without crying. He will definitely be missed. I knew him from the boards, but he was a good man. I pray he has found the peace and live he wanted here on this earth wherever he is now. RIP Plaid.

[MaggieTheCat]

I didn't know Plaid very well, not as well as many of you, but this is still very shocking and heartbreaking. My condolences to his family, and to those of you who were close to him. If anyone would like to talk, my PM box is open.

RIP, Plaidman.

I didn't know Plaid personally, just from what I gleaned from the boards. Already put up a post on Facebook telling folks on there that they can talk to me at anytime. Same goes for all you fine folks here.

For those on the Easr Coast, contact www.nfnetwork.org They help to rais money for research and they do a summer camp for children who has NF so they can meet other children who have NF. The NF organization the Plaid always mentioned to me is www.ctf.org

Maybe someone can check with his family (Trokanis?) to see if it is OK if we make donations in his name (and what name to use - Plaidman?).
