    What tragic news. Shocking.

    Back in the day she and I would IM each other on MSN Messenger all the time. Sometimes she would playfully send a "story", shall we say....

    In fact, I recall now that on 9/11, when I was right down the street from the Pentagon, it was Christine who immediately checked in with me when I signed onto MSN to make sure I was OK.

    I guess it's inevitable when you have an aging group of people at a website that has been online for, what, 15 years now, that these things happen. We've lost several great people now, and it doesn't get any easier when you hear the news.

    RIP Yankee Rose......

        Such a sweet, endearing girl. I am devastated by her passing, yet am inspired by her life. Yeah, Chris will be missed, yet never forgotten. Her existence is to be celebrated by all that ever came in contact with her, as well as by those that did not.

        Farewell, my dear.

                Just to clarify, she wasn't the first Yankee Rose around here, but I think she nabbed the name as soon as the site came back. She was also known as Candy Girl. She burst onto the scene as YR with RothFans v.1 and migrated over here. On other sites, she's known simply as Christine. Regardless of whatever screen name you want to call her, she was one of the best.

                She knew this day would come. She would tell me how she knew she would never get to see her little girl into adulthood in which I would always reply with some of my hopeless optimism to encourage her. I never believed her. My optimism was real, but now, I'm really angry that what little time she had in this world was always spent with those thoughts in the back of her mind. She fought a long, hard battle and yet was still one of the sweetest, dearest, and most fun souls you could ever know.

                    These are heartbreaking news... How deeply sad it is to hear about a young mother passing away.

                    I haven't really met Yankee Rose in the forums, but reading the messages in this sad thread it seems she was a great person. My thoughts go to her little girl and her family who will dramatically miss her and will need strength to go through hard moments.

                    I've seen too many cases - like many of us unfortunately -, young children even, and every time it's just... unspeakable.

                        Oh man, well that changes things....

                        Still tragic that Christine passed away, of course, but thanks for the clarification.....

                                            Sad to see this thread is not about remembering the song Yankee Rose. All I can say is it looks like Yankee Rose had a fan club of her own in here.
