Very sad news regarding winka/2win

Through out our lives, we meet thousands of people. Most are forgotten, a few affect us in ways that will forever change our lives, but some, some bring us joy in little, momentary ways that are savored even though they might not cherished. Some people are friends that stick around, year after year. We may not say good bye every time we leave. We may not give them a hug every time we part, but they know why. It's because that's not the type of friend they are. They are the friends who are our friends when we want them to be, are our friends when, sometimes, we need them to be. They don't ask anything more in return, because they know we don't ask anything more in return from them. But no matter, because they are our friends. We love them, immensely, even if we never say it. And we know that they love us.

Winka was always there for everyone, not just Rangers, or members of the NMC. She was there for every person who played the game or came on the forums. Winka was everyone's friend. It is odd to think that when I come back here after long periods of absence that I won't see her posts anymore. It is odder still to realize that this is affecting me, and all of us, so greatly for someone many of us had never even seen face to face. But we all feel the loss because we knew winka as, well, winka. And winka was one of the most wonderful people any of us ever met in Malton. So a glass of beer for 2win and a glass of scotch for winkalt. You will be missed.
