I never met her but I had enjoyed her few posts and discussed her with several people via PM.

This is sad news indeed.

It is with great sorrow that I wish to inform the board that Zoe Love has passed away after a very brief and sudden illness. Her loved ones are in possession of her cell phone and gentlemen are still calling inquiring about her so hopefully this communication will help to eliminate the calls. I only saw the young lady once and it is a memory I will cherish. We talked and texted quite often and I found her to be a caring and generous woman who had a kind soul. I for one will miss her deeply.

YA

None of your business. One thing I hate about these boards is the smarmy attitude of some of it's members. A woman has died and her phone is still ringing incessantly. Just trying to be compassionate and lessen some unwanted aggravation directed towards those close to her in their time of mourning.

She was a beautiful, happy, and bubbly young lady inside and out

... before posting it here.

How is it that you are in contact with the closest friends and family of this woman you met less than a month ago?

Sorry, very sorry, to hear.

so sorry to hear, very said.

It could be considered smarmy, or you could look at it through the eyes of some of the people who have been on these boards for a long time.  I have seen fake deaths, fake beatings, and all kinds of crazy things that both girls and their swains have created.  I have personally suffered through the loss of a dear friend in the business, and I do have much sympathy for any and all who lose a loved one.  However, it's not exactly fair to say that people are being smarmy or mean just because they question the validity of your post.  It's just the knee-jerk response of a community that is constantly getting yanked.

I spoke with the OP via PM and I believe his information to be real and motives to be genuine. My condolences to the family and friends.

Juliane, your point is understood and obviously that was my "knee-jerk" response to Mr Harvey's question. You know I'm a bit emotionally drained over this tragedy and the last thing I needed was to be interrogated and to spend my time as I have today defending myself on this and other boards for trying to do the right and decent thing. I should have just ignored the gentleman's interrogation. I still do find it cold however given the serious nature of the subject-kneejerk reaction or not.

This is indeed bizarre and unexpected news.  I did not have the pleasure of meeting Zoe personally, but I know that during her brief appearance on the boards, and in this community, she touched the hearts of many, and she will be sadly missed.

May Zoe rest in peace, and may her family and friends find comfort in the thought that she has moved on to a place beyond the pain and suffering of her illness.
