Hapori Tohu Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 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. View the full article Quote News Forums Q&A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axilus Prime Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I don't know what else to say..aside from the fact that I am sorry for her death.

Legolover-361 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 My condolences to Heather's family. It's horrible when deaths such as this one occur. I do hope her family will manage, and wherever Heather is, let's pray it has Lego bricks. Quote (( BZPRPG profiles: Kynaera, Nova )) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuile the Paracosmic Tulpa Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 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.

Peach 00 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 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. Quote 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...

Ernst Stavro Blofeld Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 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...

fishers64 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 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.

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

Meiko Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 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.

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 Edited April 3, 2012 by Gatanui Quote - Gata Please don't use my avatar or signature without permission, thanks!
