Farewell to a FReeper FRiend - Max McGarrity
FR | 3/12/04 | Gabz

Posted on 03/12/2004 6:11:06 PM PST by Gabz

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.

Gabz, I'm so sorry to hear about Max. I always enjoyed her posts.

Didn't Spinner also post at alt.smokers?

What amazing people and what an amazing community I have found here.

I am so thankful she dragged me here a few years ago.

A one time ping for a great FReeper and nemesis to all anti-smokers everywhere.

I'm sorry for bumping the list three times in one day. Won't happen again for a long time.

Rest in peace, Max/Spinner, knowing that the fight will be continued by people you mentored.
