Although I never met Gryphaena (I'm not on Discord and I only really check the forums for announcements), I've seen the username online a lot. From the responses here, I can tell that they were not just heavily involved in this community but cared deeply for it, and the community shared that love with them.
Such awful news. My condolences to their loved ones, including people here who had the opportunity to interact with Gryph. (I'll be sure to vote for those suggestions too. It may not be much, but with everything going on right now, every act of kindness is valuable.) -------------------- Have you hugged an Audino today?

I am on and off GPX+ a lot, but I saw Gryphaena and her work often. She was very well-loved in this community and my heart is heavy with her loss. May you find peace, dear. We will honor your memory.

There’s a lot of tension in this town Group: +Donors Posts: 2 004 Joined: 30-April 09 From: Louisiana Member No.: 17 626 Active Squad |
I haven't been as active as I have been in the past few years, but I can see how much of an impact that Gryphaena has had on this community. I send my condolences to her family, friends, and everyone on here who has known her.

Truly horrible news.
I've been playing GPX+ for over a decade now, but have never really been a part of the community, just casually clicking stuff and lurking around. Gryphanea was the only person, I think ever, who actually messaged me with the intention of making friends. We kinda bonded over the fact our usernames are similar. She sent me so many trinkets, which helped me to get an achievement. She's one of three people who are in my Pal Pad. Everytime I noticed she interacted with my critters, I smiled. I know this is not much - there are people who have been far more involved with her than me, and who are now far more affected by her passing. But her reaching out to a "nobody" like me really shows what kind of person she was. May she rest in peace. |

I did not posted here yet as I did not had much personal contact with Gryphaena. However, after reading this thread and seeing all the amazing things she has done for this community, I can't help but feel incredibly sad that we have lost such an amazing member. She was truely a super kind and helpful person. I'm sure I have gotten many skygifts from her (initiative) and she helped others on the path of succes or completion.
I wish my condoleances to everyone, especially her friends and family. And I hope wherever she is that she is at peace now, and can continue giving us skygifts, but this time by being a star in the night sky. -------------------- |

While I did not know Gryphaena personally, I agree with what Dark Krytie said. As a member of our community she was one of ours and therefore precious. A life cut short is always a tragedy and I am sorry for the family’s loss and pray that they can find comfort through the haze of sorrow that they must be swimming in.
Gryphaena was a very talented woman and, just through recounting what she has done here in our community, I know that she was very caring and giving of herself. I hope that her family knows how special she was and that many feel her absence now. -------------------- |

I hope that her family knows how special she was and that many feel her absence now. On this note, I wanted to mention that our staff did share a kind message with her family about how loved she was in our community and how many have spoken out about the positive impact she's had. -------------------- Want a rotating avatar like mine?

Thank you for doing that, Zerxer. I'm sure the family is grateful to have been contacted and made aware. -------------------- |

Oh my God, Gryphanea!! :O
I am so late to find out, I'm not involved in the community at all so I didn't know... I never even click those forum links, but I did today and I read her name in the post and I am so surprised, I KNOW HER! She's on my Pal Pad and I'm on HERS! She gave me TONS of trinkets over the last half a year I think... and I couldn't even give her one :( I tried, I checked from time to time if I have even one thing to give to her and she had everything already :'D This is so sad for me, coming from a person not involved in the community, just casually clicking, she was the one I remembered the best. She was so generous without knowing me at all, it must be a tragedy for her family and friends to lose such a gem of a person :( Rest in Peace lovely person I wish I knew, I will remember you </3 This post has been edited by AromaLady: Aug 10 2020, 07:10 PM |
