So very sorry...

[MariasWorkshop]

I do not know if it is appropriate to post this in this forum. Forgive me and let me know if it is not. In the latter case, please delete.

I was reading an old “revived” post regarding message to buyers when I bumped into CrochetGal’s response. Since I have not read any comments from her lately, I clicked on the link to her shop and was very, very sad to learn that she passed away. She was a member of this Team and a great contributor. I always appreciated her wise advice to Team members. There is no contact information. I am really sad and would like to offer my condolences to her family and loved ones.

I searched but couldn't find "CrochetGal". I am sure I should know her thru the team but couldn't remember without the avatar. Even so, I felt sorry when I saw this post because I think we belong to the same community.

I wish her rest in peace and also want to offer my condolences to her family and loved ones.

Hi Fishcouple,

I was checking out this thread because I do not have a message to the buyer when I sell something (I send a separate convo) and I thought I would learn something:

It is an old thread that was recently revived. That is where I found Crochetgal's post. I tried to click on her shop because I have not read anything from her lately and that is when I found out.

Here is the link: https://www.etsy.com/people/crochetgal

I also appreciated CrochetGal's counsel. Rest in peace, sweetie.

Hi Maria,

Thank you for taking an extra step to find the link for me. Yes, I know her thru this team. She was active in this team and had provided many useful information and advice. I am so sorry to hear that she passed away. I remember once she mentioned about her illness but I thought it was past. May her rest in peace.

It's true, she always had good pieces of advice, unfortunately we won't hear from her no more.

I'd like to offer my condolence too.

[NataBurgos]

What a shame. :(
I do remember that she used to give direct, spot on advice.
Hope she's resting in peace.

[GabriellasTreasures]

OMG - thank you for posting this. I did not see this anywhere. I have followed her for years and she was a great inspiration and one fighting lady with her illness. Soooo sad :(

[MICETTESGARDEN]

That's a sad news. I remember her too for her useful comments.

[SmilingBlueDog]

Oh so sad! I will miss her even though I didn't know her personally, but certainly have a space in my heart for her. She helped me a lot when I was a newbie, and over the years has provided so much useful info to many of us...
Thank you Maria for letting us know!

[MariasWorkshop]

You are welcome! I did not know her personally either, but the news made me very sad.

I saw the post in the Forum a few days ago and I also wasn't sure if I should post a message here. With a few thousand of new members in this Team I also wasn't sure if many people would know / remember her.

I remember seeing her posts here ever since I joined this team 5 1/2 years ago. She had mentioned some worrying health problems lately.

Rest in peace...

So sorry to hear about Crochet Girl passing away. I enjoyed her advice. May she Rest In Peace.

Here is the original post that was posted in the chitchat forum when it was shared that she wasn't doing well and then passed away. Crochetgal touched a lot of people in her time with Etsy and she will truly be missed.
