It is with heartache and tears I inform the rest of the FReeper community of the loss of another one of us.
FReeper Max McGarrity passed away peacefully while taking a nap on Monday March 8, 2004.
Max and I have been online buddies and real life friends since we first encountered each other on another forum back in 1998. Without Max I would never have found Free Republic when I did.
There has been a very long standing joke between Max and me, we "cyber flirted" all the time on such threads as the Smoker's Lounge..... the joke being that Max is not a he, but a she.
My dear, dear friend leaves behind a very close family that misses her dearly. I ask all of my FReeper FRiends to keep her family in your prayers.
Thank you.

And I got so wrapped up in reading you thing about he instead of she, which I never knew, I said he.
Max, you are the nemesis of all antismokers. Rest knowing that you fought hard for freedom for even those that it is acceptable for even the "right side" to kick.
To: Gabz
May he rest in peace.

She would totally love that comment!!!!!
I feel bad that I can't answer every comment - but I just can't.
I debated a very long time today as to wether or not I was even going to post this thread - we toasted Max long and hard in the Lounge today - but I finally decided I should.

Thank you for sharing this Gabz. I am so sorry. How old was she? had she been ill?
My prayers go out to her family and to you.

Your prayers are greatly appreciated.
She had been ill for a short period of time and her family, especially her grandchildren will tell you she was far too young.
