Squinternet Larnia - rest in peace lovely lady

Dedicated to the talented designer Squinternet Larnia of Donna Flora - who has sadly lost her battle against cancer.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,

I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am in a thousand winds that blow,

I am the softly falling snow.

I am the gentle showers of rain,

I am the fields of ripening grain.

I am in the morning hush,

I am in the graceful rush

Of beautiful birds in circling flight,

I am the starshine of the night.

I am in the flowers that bloom,

I am in a quiet room.

I am in the birds that sing,

I am in each lovely thing.

Do not stand at my grave bereft

I am not there. I have not left.

In late 2011, Squinternet Larnia of Donna Flora, thought she was suffering from repetitive stress injury, but in that December she learned that the aching in her bones was not from working on the computer but from breast cancer that had metastasized into her bones.  She surprised everyone by rallying at the time. She pursued alternative therapies that gave her energy and strength. They did not cure the cancer, but for a time they managed it. She outlasted her doctor’s prognosis by more than a year. 

Squinternet you will be missed by all your friends and the SL fashion industry as a whole.
