This morning, the Dreemit family has asked me to let everyone here know, that Linnet has passed from this realm.
For now, I would just like to say that she will be missed dearly. Linnet was always so generous with her wealth-- a wealth of family and friends, tribe and community-- that I felt I was a part of her beautiful family. She was my sister and friend, and she made sure that I knew it.
For those who also are blessed to be part of Linnet's fabulous world, please feel free to share this post. There is much to be written and said in remembrance of her presence in our lives, and I do encourage everyone to share their comments and memories of her.
Here is a link to her most recent post here on Hive:

There may still be time to give it an upvote, and she will definitely see your comments, she will read your thoughts (yes, like a psychic!), and she'll feel your feelings, the warmth of your smiles, and she will easily know the love that we so naturally feel for her.
Linnet has left this in our hands, and she knows what she's doing.
What. What.
I'm just going to be "what" for a while until this registers. With some "how" and "why" thrown in. Then it'll be sadness. All the comforting feelings for her family and friends D|
I'm still in shock here, still thinking 'whhaat'. She may be thinking the same, I don't think anyone expected this.
Definitely still processing here, but it doesn't feel so much like there's an elephant sitting on my chest today. She's on to new adventures though and I'm sure any pain I'm feeling doesn't compare to what her family is going through. Definitely came out of nowhere, but I appreciate you and her family letting us know.
Yes I was a mess yesterday, trying to type through a blur of tears. I didn't get a lot of details, but as I understand it, her heart simply gave out.
Still a whole lot of what then :<
Definitely feels out of nowhere.
[hugs]
Thank you for telling us.
Thank you. Yes it felt like out of nowhere to me, she was young.
Rats. That's very sad, indeed... she was one of the first people I interacted with when I joined this community, some six years ago. She was always so kind and encouraging. She will be missed...
Same here, she was the first friend I made back then on Steemit. A good soul.
Oh no man, this is awful news. I was friends with Linnet for a long time. She was a force to be reckoned with and had a hugely beautiful spirit. She was amazing and it was way too soon for her. I am so sorry for her family's loss and all who's lives she impacted.
Way too soon, no doubt. Thanks for your thoughtful words, and I guess we'll catch back up to her when the time is right.
Yes indeed. It is a happy thought to think our paths will cross again and I fervently hope they do. She was a proper lady and I know she would laugh saey me saying that but she was. ☹️
Yes she would get a kick out of hearing you say 'a proper lady', but she knows it's true.
♥️
Seems inappropriate but thank you. I'm sorry you had to post this. Some of my favorite engagements were with Linnet. D and A will miss her. John 11:26.
Thank you- I'm still having trouble even believing this post is real, just so unexpected. She touched our lives, that's for sure.
I haven't been on here much lately, so I'm a bit late to comment - thanks @dandays for the tip. I'm so sorry to hear about this loss. @dreemit was one of the first people who ever interacted with me when I started writing here. She was always so positive and encouraging. My condolences to Linnet's family 😢 I wish good people didn't have to die
Thanks brandt, yeah I've been away a while too, I managed to tag a few of the old gang here like you, but with this unhappy news. She was also the first real interaction I had here, and she instantly made the site feel like home to me.
Been trying to find words, for the past few days.
No need to describe what sadness feels like. I'm sure we've all been there.
The shock converted itself into silence. Time to think.
Been thinking, a lot.
Certain even my artwork shed a few tears over this. She was a huge fan of my work. Her support and encouragement, especially early on; without that I'm sure I'd have given up and walked away.
She wanted me to succeed. Would stand up for me, on her own. Believed in me long before I believed in me. Had me all figured out before I even knew wtf I was doing...
Why would this happen so suddenly?
With so much chaos in the world, it's clear heaven was obviously understaffed. It's sad but I won't question their hiring process. That woman spent her days on this planet acting like a guardian angel, in training. Finally got the job...
It hurts. I'll miss her.
Thanks for letting me know.
Very well said my friend. I know that I couldn't have done this whole writing and art-ing thing here without her bright beacon and loud cheerleading.
Today her family is celebrating her life, and she never wanted a sad funeral, so I'm going to feel their mood this evening the best I can.
Thanks for writing, and in fact, she would probably want us both to write more stuff and do more art-ing, and I will, soon.
Would be nice to get back into the swing of things. Thinking about what you said; it's motivating.
Maybe I will, too.
Damn. I was hoping to make it up there and meet her this year. Quite a punch in the stomach. Much love to her family and the rest of her friends here. One of the purest souls I've ever had the pleasure to interact with.
Yes quite a punch indeed. I was also planning to go see her and the gang this year. Thanks for your kind words, Clayboyn.
Hope you're doing alright dude. I guess it's finally really set in, good reminder to not put off things that are important to us I suppose. Hopefully her family is healing. Much love bro and thanks again for letting us know.
