Exclamation Did anyone else get this message?

I just checked in and had the in my inbox. Did anyone else get this? I did a search and did indeed find an article about it. My condolences to her family. She was a beautiful lady inside and out. Here is the link to the article if anyone is interested: Local News | Slain woman had protection order | Seattle Times Newspaper



MBatten
Hello - I'm sorry to tell you that user MBatten died on Tuesday morning from homicidal domestic violence.

I came to the forum to learn about who she was. I work down the street at ms not far from where she was shot. You can read the details online.

Her last post showed how much progress she made and how happy it made her. It really was impressive. She was so pretty. This forum was probably one of the more positive things going on for her in the last months of her life. Her recent inactivity corresponds with the deadly turn her marriage took only two days before her last post.

I am sorry to deliver such news. I almost didn't.. but then she would just be forgotten and her profile would auto-expire, messages unread. I read the posts and I thought it was better that you knew what positive support you and the other members provided for her during what must have been a difficult time.

Respectfully
Tom
