Rest in Peace, Heather


Recommended Posts

Unfortunately, stories like these rarely have a good ending. Bringing a sad conclusion to Heather "LEGOGirl" Braaten's disappearance two weeks ago, her body <a href='http://www.queenanneview.com/2012/04/02/heather-braaten-found/' target='offsite'>was found</a> yesterday afternoon. No other details are available.I have a hard time putting my feelings into words, so I'll say simply that she was a great friend and her presence in the Lego community will be greatly missed. My condolences to all her friends and family. We'll be praying for you.

That's tragic. That's . . . well, I'm at a loss for words. I haven't known many deaths in my life, and I can't imagine what it would be like if that happened to a family member or friend. All I can say is God rest your soul, Heather, and bless your family and friends. You'll all be in my prayers.

I did not know her, but I have no doubt she was a wonderful person and a great friend to many. Let us hope she has reached a place she can be happy in after life.

On the day the wall came down / They threw the locks onto the ground

And with glasses high / We raised a cry / For freedom had arrived

 

On the day the wall came down / The ship of fools had finally run aground

Promises lit up the night / Like paper doves in flight

 

I dreamed you had left my side / No warmth, not even pride remained

And even though you needed me / It was clear that I could not do a thing for you

 

Now life devalues day by day / As friends and neighbors turn away

And there's a change that even with regret / Cannot be undone

 

Now frontiers shift like desert sands / While nations wash their bloodied hands

Of loyalty, of history / In shades of grey

 

I woke to the sound of drums / The music played, the morning sun streamed in

I turned and I looked at you / And all but the bitter residues slipped away

 

slipped away...

This is awful...it's very upsetting when things like this happen, especially in a Lego community. I know how hard it must be for her family, and I offer my sincerest empathy and condolences to them. I hope, at least, that Heather has found solace somewhere; she will always be remembered, in her family's and our hearts. Rest in peace, Heather...

Rest in Peace, Heather. ;_;

This is heartbreaking to know that somebody like this could have something this bad happen. Whoever has done this should be punished seriously. My condolences the family and friends...

I feel the same sadness that I had when one of my brickfilming friends was stabbed in the stomach at Wal-Mart,but his story had a happy ending,because he's still alive.The world is such a cruel place,and things like this happen constantly. Let us hope she has reached a place where she will be happy and safe. For all time.

Today begins a brand new dayAn open world beyond. For a person some of us knew, And a few of us were fond. Released from this broken world of time, This broken world that took you,That cut you off and sent you away,Before we could mark the time. Leaving behind a string of memory,Moments of delight. Wound into a ball of sadness that crushes you so tight. But a slender thread escaped from there, A slender bitter line. From which, on the spinning wheel,Spins out this little rhyme.

"To me the honour is sufficient of belonging to the universe -- such a great universe, and so grand a scheme of things. Not even Death can rob me of that honour. For nothing can alter the fact that I have lived; I have been I, if for ever so short a time." -- W. N. P. Barbellion, The Journal of a Disappointed ManIt may not mean much, but my heart goes out Heather and her family. I may not have known her personally, but any loss like this should be mourned by everyone. Our commuty has lost a friend, and more importantly a family has lost a daughter. Or maybe even a sister, a niece... It's a shame we live in a world where this happens everyday.P.S. TO THE NUIMOBILE!!:tohu:

Nothin' to see here folks. Just keep movin' along.

As I said in the previous topic, my heart is with her family and friends. I didn't know her, but I'm sure this is a horrible loss for the LEGO community.

As I said in the other topic, it´s hard to find fitting words and no words could make up for this loss anyway, so I´ll just give my condolences to her family and to you and all her other friends. I hope the reasons behind this tragedy can be fully clarified and that if this was a murder, whoever did this can be brought to justice.-Gata signoff.jpg

Through fire, through ice

Through the endless pain

He payed the last price

When the acts seem tame

That the sword be drawn

That the trumpets blow

When it comes to dawn

We will all bow low

For the ice warrior

For the final singer

For the last protector

For the flame-bringer

It was his greatest fear

It was his final fight

His name glistens here

In the stars tonight

We can only hope that, wherever Heather is now, she's in a better place than this broken world we live in.Rest in peace, Heather.

Others have stated my feelings more clearly. I am sorry she's gone and offer all the comfort these words can convey to you and her family.

As somebody had told me in a comment on a social network, it it highly possible that Heather took her own life. Her mother reported to several news sources that Heather had been experiencing severe depression, which could have led her to this decision.It's sad to think that people believe that suicide is their only option, but unfortunately that's how some people's minds work.

That could explain why she deleted all her social media accounts previously. Well, that´s sad. Perhaps the knowledge that it was her own decision to leave can make it more bearable to her family. But why? As my history teacher never ceased to tell us and as I have found myself to be true, every time things go bad you need to think it they eventually improve. That´s just the way life works, peaks are followed by loews and lows are followed by peaks. Then again, it´s hard to judge how you would react in a depression.-Gata signoff.jpg Edited by Gatanui
