Farewell my friend

[dizzojay]

Yesterday we lost jj1564.

All of us, as we go through life, have the privilege of meeting the occasional person that really amazes and inspires us.  JJ was one such person.

We met through Lj back in 2013, and over time, we moved beyond our mutual interest in Supernatural and came to realise we had a lot in common.  We were a similar age, we both had the same wicked sense of humour and we were both proud South London girls.  We realised that we'd both spent the first years of our lives living about a mile and a half apart!

Throughout the whole time I knew her, JJ was living with Motor Neurone Disease, and she bore this illness with huge fortitude and positivity, and even humour.  She was without a doubt one of the bravest, most admirable people I have ever known and the world is a poorer place for her passing.

Rest in peace my lovely friend.  I just know you'll be chasing Dean around in heaven now; he doesn't stand a chance!!

I'm sitting at my laptop just sobbing, I can't believe she's gone. Please let her family know that I'm thinking of them . She was the beacon of strength and welcomed me when I asked to be her friend, I never met her personally but I knew of how wonderful, caring and kind hearted she was. ♥♥ I know you must be heartbroken Dizzo because I am too and you've know her a lot longer than me. *hugs*

Trust me, I've been doing lot of that sobbing over the last couple of days. Her family are under no illusions as to how much JJ was loved by us all.

She really, truly was a joy to know, and a fantastic person. My heart goes out to her family; they've been through so much. I feel absolutely numb. I've lost my 'found' sister.
