Wow, just getting back and settled from St. Maarten to see such sad news.
My condolences to her family. You'll be missed Phyllis.

RE: R.I.P. Vaporlock
I had the honour of meeting Phyllis at a few of the YYZ meets and getting to know her as a friend.
Her enthusiasm for aviation and her infectiously positive outlook on life were contagious.
Phyllis was warm, kind, friendly and generous. She gave great hugs that could make a person feel wonderful. She was modest, yet confident; sensitive, yet brave; passionate, yet unpretentious. Phyllis was a remarkable human being with heart of gold.
I, like any who met her, will miss Phyllis dearly. She was one of our finest.
RIP my friend.
George

As much as I hate the concept, threads like this really need a "like" button for some of these wonderful posts.
We can agree to disagree.
RE: R.I.P. Vaporlock
I'm shocked....and very sad! R.I.P my dear friend.

RE: R.I.P. Vaporlock
My god...I had no idea she had cancer...
I first met Phyllis back in the classic days of A.net, she was one of the few female members at the time and I remember we joked around with her quite a bit. I never expected this. I'm unbelievably saddened by this news!
Cancer is such a horrible thing. So many good people have departed lately....

RE: R.I.P. Vaporlock
Such sad news, we chatted many times when I was a more frequent visitor to the chatroom and we always had fun conversations.
Goodbye Phyllis.
Goodbye Phyllis.
After Monday and Tuesday even the calendar says WTF...
RE: R.I.P. Vaporlock
Phyllis aka Vapor Lock your soul is in the clouds scooting about the earth, we'll miss you very much. Such a friendly person to all of the people in Anet Chat. Peace be unto you.

This is heartbreaking. I feel bad because I hardly get to get on here as mush as I did in the past and when I do I don't normally read these forums anymore. She and I had many conversations on here and I am happy for all of them. Rest peacefully, Phyllis. You will always be a part of A.Net!

RE: R.I.P. Vaporlock
I remember nothing but fond memories of her. She was a sweet heart who did not deserve to die. She always had something positive to say about everyone. She had nothing negative to say. Very kind heart warming person. May you RIP Phyllis.

RE: R.I.P. Vaporlock
I am saddened to hear of Phyllis's passing. I had the great pleasure of meeting her at several of the great YYZ meets from days gone by. Each time I met her I was impressed by what a wonderful caring person she was and a was always left with a smile upon meeting her. Those YYZ meets were some of my favorite memories of my time on this site and Phyllis was a major part of those meets as she made feel at home in the city that is my home away from home
I also wish to pass along condolences to Mr. Spaceman for his loss. I also had the pleasure of meting him at the meets and he was/is one of the most genuinely nice people I have met via this site.
It was mentioned above that many of the old guard of this site are passing away. I have to agree as there several people are no longer with us.... I hate to be to sentimental but there is something reassuring to hope that there is some type of ethereal A.net alumni meet going on in a better place..

Another veteran A.netter gone. Even though i didn't personally know her, I feel a kinship.
Yeah, Superfly mentioned that as well. It'd be nice to hear from him. Hope he's OK.
We've had a wave of that. It worries me that I can get the senior discount @ Dennys.
Man, That'd be great IHAP! I'm sure there will be Connies and Tri-Stars a plenty!

RE: R.I.P. Vaporlock
I just learned of this some sad news. I'm sorry for bumping this thread but I'm little shocked and wanted to express a word about Vaporlock. She is funny. Not only that but she enjoyed sharing pictures of her on here. Canada lost a great woman! All replies above are wonderful to read..
