My friend and ATS member Iamschist has passed away.

It is with a broken heart that I wish to let you all know that ATS member and my dear friend Iamschist passed away peacefully on August 3rd. She had been ill for a short while but was a strong woman who maintained her kind spirit and sense of humour through difficult times and illness.

Myself and Iamschist (Bonnie) met here on ATS several years ago. Just participating in a random thread, I said something silly, she PM'd me with a LMFAO and we started chatting from there and just clicked.

We corresponded almost daily, became close friends and shared our stories, we advised each other and learned from each others point of view and differing life experiences. She became my dearest friend and confidant and even though I shall miss her with all my heart I am so happy that she came into, brightened and enriched my life so much even for these short few years. It was my privilege.

She really enjoyed being on ATS and she spoke very highly of some older members and loved to learn and share experiences and music.
I am posting this to inform her friends on ATS (and she had many) of her passing who would otherwise not have heard.

Her health declined of late and she became unable to write to me although I kept in constant contact. I hadn't heard at all from her in a while until her friend contacted me with the news I had been expecting but dreading.

I raise a glass to you my dear sweet American lady,
Thanks for the time we had.

RIP Bonnie.
She was smart, funny and tough as old boots.
And I loved her.

So sorry to hear. I am glad to hear how close you were. Friendship is a true gift.

I am so sorry to hear that. I sent her a message the other day checking up on her and wondered why she never responded. I guess that explains it. I know that she'll be missed by many. She was funny and seemed like a really nice person.

I will say a pray for her family and friends. May she be at peace.

I am so sorry to that sad news.

She and I talked via u2u a few times, and I Found her to be a warm and intelligent woman.

RIP....

Condolences on your loss.

It's always a sad day when a member passes, but also a very real reminder of our own mortality.

RIP Iamschist.

Well. That's not news I wanted to hear but thank you for sharing.

Our community has lost a light.

I'll leave one on tonight in my home for her.

Very, very sorry to all those who knew and loved her. I did not, but you have my sincerest sympathies. Losing a beloved friend is devastating. I'm sure her influence on your lives was a wonderful one that will be missed sorely.

Peace.

I don't know her but all I can say is this: May the Force grant her good afterlife.

I hope Iamschist has a meet up with WilliamOneSac and they enjoy the day among the stars.

RIP Bonnie...

a reply to: HumansEh

I'm sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace in the great beyond!

a reply to: HumansEh

I'm so sorry for your personal loss and sorry for ATS as well.

RIP

She will be missed.

Rest in peace, Iamschist.

I'm so sorry to hear and for the loss of the site overall. Didn't know her personally but had enjoyed her posts.

Much regards

This has truly made me feel sadness. She seemed like such a wonderful person. She will be missed.

Whenever I talked, here, about some of my real life stresses and woes, she always would send a short message of support and positivity to me. Nothing big, just a "This will pass, it will get better" when it really was needed.

I am going to miss those.

Rest well Bonnie.
