This news makes me so very sad. I have not been overly active on social media, and rarely come to PR in the past few months, so I'm just seeing this today.

I have such fond memories of my exchanges with Klara. I knew her primarily as Purple. I first met her on the chats when I first arrived to PR. I remember the first days of chatting with her, and understanding how severely ill she was...yet, her humor remained. She told me how the kids would push her very fast in the wheelchair...like going racing...which was a way for them all to have fun, and to maintain playfulness.

The tributes and memories shared in this thread are very touching, and I very much appreciate reading them all.

RIP, Klara. You are missed.
