s to her family

She was slightly nutty.............. I like nuts

OMG! Asti...I chatted to you many times! My sincere condolences go out to her Family & Friends...I feel so terribly sad...

God only takes the best

It's sad to have lost a nice human being.

Much Love to her loved ones left behind.

Sleep in peace.

I received an e-mail from ASTORIA's husband in response to the one i sent at 2am this morning (couldn't sleep)

Although he gave few details he did say that Asti had been very ill and that she did mention some of us forumers by name.

Obviously he is struggling as it is only 7 weeks since she died but he sed he wud be happy to chat to me because,
"I know it's what she would want me to do, to try and make sure everyone is as ok as they can be."

So i will give him some space and chat to him in the future.
If he wants to pass anything on i will let you all know wen it becomes available.

RIP Astoria me lovely x

If anyone wishes to share stories of Asti please feel free

Wud love to know her sofa antics - the lil Devil

I know you're devastated hun, it's terrible news I'm a bit shocked with it meself truth be told.

But as for stories about her:-

Asti introduced me to Toots, which is something I will never forget her for. She encouraged me to visit the SIT one day and when I went in there she was in the jelly bath doing pole dances for toots I was like

I said I didn't know you could get away with this sort of thing and she threw her bikini top at me

I was a sweet forum angel until the two of them dragged me into the jellybath and did untold things to me

Thanx for that Temps - there is so much i now realise i never knew. I posted on a different forum last year and don't think i spoke once to Astoria ... becos i didn't know she was chatting to be honest.
So any memory wud be a bonus.

Hope you and baby are doing well.

You shud start a "Experiences of a new Mum" thread and tell us how your copping (or not) LOL

Oh no! Asti was lovely, I remember having a few convos with her.

Renton, I'm really sorry about my reply in the C4 forum thread - it sounds callous, but I hadn't seen this one.

You know wot - i read it and thought the same ... "time to move on" wot the hell !!!

But i thought you might not know - no offence taken at all

Life's too short x

She wasn't on all that much last year Renton. During the summer she was a bit, but then she disappeared again. She was in and out of hosp a lot from what I remember, but I thought she was recovering, I didn't realise she had taken a turn for the worst.

Anyhow, don't beat yourself up over it. You weren't to know she was here and she did ask you for you all the time. And don't you remember when you came back last summer you started the second Relationships Thread and the two of you were reunited....it was a lovely forum moment.

You had a special friendship and everyone could see that, whether you spoke regularly or not

Thank you for posting that very sad information Roxanne and I'd be grateful if you would kindly pass my condolences to Astoria's husband and family please.

I used to post with Asti quite a lot back in the day so am really saddened to hear of her demise.

RIP Asti.

Did she ask about me? Thats nice to know

But feels like such a missed oppertunity y'know, sigh.

She was very important to me - no idea why - my first internet friend, so lovely to me.
I had it in my head all along that we wud meet up y'see, a definite plan for the fututre ... it didn't need discussing.

All gone . . .

I remember how the relationship kicked off with you two. It started in the SIT and moved to the relationships thread, the two of you looked after each other with your respective 'problems' and the relationship grew between you from there. Asti always got comfort from you words Renton. It seemed to me as an outsider that you would meet eventually, but it wasn't to be, but you have the comfort of knowing that you did share a special friendship, which she very much appreciated and drew comfort from. You were very important to her

And it's not all gone. What memories do you have of her? Share them with us

Well TEMPS - this is my difficulty cos a lot of the time i shared with Astoria, eventhough it was in the public domain, was quite personal and she did reveal a lot of private stuff.

See i had no idea about MSN and other stuff then - i never even had her e-mail
This was all plans for the future i believed so was in no rush.

The things we chatted about were 1-2yrs ago and i dunno if she'd be happy for me to rake over it.

But i do remember me telling her about my workmate,
"I'm not in love with her i just want to be frends"
But i realise now that i was in love with her - but Astoria never pushed me, she was too kind.

I remember a complex and sometimes mixed up Astoria who was finding her way - we helped each other in that respect.

such a young age what a tragedy for her family.....i am so very sorry fo there loss and wish them peace xxxxxxxx

I'll remember sitting in our conservatory - laptop on my knee to stay warm

that's what my take on her was too....but on the flip side she had such a witty sense of humour which had me in tears at the pc sometimes. She was a truly lovely lady.

I'm glad you've signed up so that you can read the other stuff Renton. I'm up to page 700 on the Newmark there....some of the stuff is hysterical. It's nade me feel so sad reading it all beacuse we all had a real blast together there and that is something we can't ever have again. Go to her blog (at Divas/Glitz) and see some of her photography work, it's truly beautiful.
I woke up this morning and hoped it had all ben another awful forum dream....am truly devestated that it is not.

The forum was great craic back then Renton. The SIT was so much fun, we all just posted for fun and got a great laugh out of the forum in general

I've just seen this thread, what terrible sad news I remember posting with her a few times, she was such a lovely, sweet FM

Sorry MrsB - i just dunno how to get to Asti's stuff cud you giv a step by step please

OMG i found her DIVA BLOG

Such a talented lady - feel i barely knew her

Hope the link is ok to post for anyone interesting in reminiscing about wonderful Astoria

I don't want to take this thread off topic, but Renton I had to say... that post... well, if she were my daughter, or my loved one, and someone posted that about her, I would be truely touched.

I have so much respect for you for posting that. I know you're hurting, and the two of you spoke about things, as you say, on a public domain, yet you are still sensitive to her privacy.

You really really are a true friend to Astoria. xx

Take care, be kind to yourself x

I didn't really know Astoria, but that is very sad news, my heart goes out to her family

DIRTYPRETTYGIRLTHING

Well ... thanx for those kind words - i truly adored Astoria more than she will ever know.
Its so upsetting cos i feel the best was yet to come and i hadn't even scratched the surface of a wonderful person.

She was my first real internet frend who never judged or became annoyed.
We all kno she had her own personal problems - and i wanted to help her so much but more than that i just thought she was great.

And now ... i feel i need to know things, anything about her

... and i will given time

Bless you Renton... from what I have seen of you on here since you found out... I think Asti would have known how you felt about her.

You come across as very sincere, caring and loyal.

xx

What terrible news, a lovely FM and so young.

Sleep well Asti xxx

My condolances to Astorias' family. R.I.P Astoria

And heres a for Renton.

I never knew Astoria but what terrible news.

May she rest in peace.

My condolences to her family.

OMG Asti !!

I'm shocked and saddened to hear/read that...she was a really nice person.

May she RIP

Condolences for her family, friends and close forum friends.

This is such terrible sad news I only posted with Astoria a few times, but she was always so sweet and warm. A truly lovely girl. She popped in to the Darnie thread now and again to say hi to everyone. What a tragic loss. My thoughts are with her family and all who care for her

Astorias husband has asked me to pass on his thanks for all the kind words and thoughs expressed here.

He has asked me to collate a document for him to pass on to her parents of memories so I will be using the kind words here and in the Newmark thread if nobody objects.

I for one can't believe she is gone and will miss her terribly.

Thanks again everyone xxxxx

Well said Roxanne - thats a lovely thought

He said you'd been in touch too, it's not an easy thing to do I know. Are you OK?
