"Official" We have lost a Kappa Member at the Dragon
« on: August 10, 2009, 11:03:50 AM »
It breaks my heart to have to post this thread. On Saturday night after our Dragon Banquet a few members took it upon themselves to go run the Dragon one last time before they went home Sunday. One member Nellie Tubbs aka bntn on the Sky forum lost her life.
 We will not go into details here but make this thread a memorial thread to a lady that had the best weekend she had had in a long time. Please all the people that she drove with and zipped with on Saturday morning, post your pictures or just text what kind of weekend she had.
  Our prayers go out to her family and her partner William Fitch. I will have more details later today to post.

  Nellie may the Angels be with you

May your spirit now reside in Heaven.  A life cut so short, in the flicker of an eye.  So very, very sad.

We will forever miss you Nellie. I pray that you are in a much better place. My prayers are heavy for the grieving family of Nellie. I know what grieving is like for one lost out of the natural order.
Words can not explain how I feel about this tragic accident.

RIP Nellie, prayers go out to friends & family.

Live life to the fullest every day, because we all could be called "home" at anytime.

The phone rang for me, but I was one of the lucky one's. It was just a wake-up call. Telling me it wasn't my time yet.

Words cannot express the range of emotions that I have gone through after hearing of this tragic loss Saturday night of a member of our Kappa family. I had the chance to meet both of the wonderful outgoing people for the first time at the dragon event this past weekend and though I did not go to the scene as ducksol did my heart aches for both Keith and his family and Nellie and her family.

Nellie may the wings of angels carry you home.

Simply heartbreaking. Living close to the Dragon I have driven it many times. It is so easy to make one small mistake and the Dragon is unforgiving

After having to stay home from the Dragon this year due to my surgery I was so sorry to hear this. It's tragic when something likes this happens, and has been so aptly said many times over "You never know when it's time to be called home." This is the way I truly look at it and I have all faith that Nellie is at home and at rest.

Live life to the fullest and Love often

The family has links to the forums. I don't know about this one.
This is a terrible loss to her family, students and friends.
She was an instant hit with my wife and I.
We both were impressed at what a dear, sweet lady we met.

Let's go here now
