RIP Fiona.

Quite a few knew Fiona Welsh. She crashed her CX500 at (or near) one of
the EOSMs. More recently she had a GSXR1100. She's been getting more
and more depressed over the last year or so. The last time I talked to
her on the phone she was very detached from reality and barely knew who
I was. Last night I heard that'd she'd had to be commited but had then
been released to her Mum's care. Apparently she hanged herself when
no-one was watching.

The last time I talked to her it was like the Fiona I used to know was
no longer home. She was just completely detached from reality. It was
like she'd just withdrawn into herself and no-one could penetrate the
shell to help her. She was my friend and she'll be sadly missed.

 

RIP Fio.

 

****!

RIP Fi....
Big girl, big heart, nice personality.

Commiserations to her family.

 

I'm stunned. There's nothing can be said apart from RIP.

 

Oh my, t'is never the badduns that go first.

<shocked>

I used to chat to her quite often back when irc was popular.

I hope she's now at peace.

 

****.

Another one bites the dust.

RIP Fiona.

RIP Fio.

I'm truly gutted. I'll echo Robbo's words here.

 

That's terrible news.
She was a lovely person.

Condolences to the family

RIP

 

I'm really sorry to hear that, Molly. She was a good kid, and I was
singularly impressed by the way she got over the CX crash and
subsequently went on to teach herself to wheelie and stoppie - and
crash a bit more.

Depression is a vile, insidious disease that nobody seems to
understand, nor to appreciate unless they have been affected. My
condolences to you, the others of your friends that she knew and to
Fio's family.

 

Not known to me, but I feel for her family at this difficult time.

Depression is a horrible thing and many do not understand how it can
utterly take over a life and reduce it to an existance or a blinkered
unending trial. Fiona has found a release from her depression but
it's sad to have another life taken from us by mental illness. I hope
her family understand that there was little if anything that they
could do to stop her from taking her own life if she had set her mind
on it.

Take care Fiona's family and friends - my thoughts are with you.

 

This is terribly sad. RIP.

 

Rather dazed and confused. I'm going out tonight to Cabbage, which was
a night Fio herself enjoyed. When I heard the news I thought I'd cancel
- not really in the mood to go out party. Now I think I'm gonna go
dance for 8 hours straight.

Tonight is for you Fiona, I'm gonna miss you.

I've passed a link to this thread to Anna (Fiona's partner) who's in
touch with Fiona's fammily.

 

Oh and I ought to pass on a thank you from Kat & Cobweb for everyone's
thoughts - they are also missing Fio very much but don't have usenet
access set up at the moment to comment here themselves.

 

Seconded, with sympathy to all those who mourn her.

You speak the truth, Mr Pip. Part of the problem is people using the
word depression when the problem is nothing of the sort. Real depression
is completely debilitating. Bit like people missing work with "flu" when
they've got a cold, only worse.

That is so terribly sad. What a waste of such a nice person.

Molly

 

Oh Fio.

I will remember you as I last saw you. On your GSXR1100 having a little
bimble with me and Tallbloke. You were a sensitive soul, and will be
missed.
