Rest in peace @Arete

Thank you for everything.

Thoughts and prayers are with her family and all those here who knew her <3

I'm so sorry to hear this.

I'm so sorry to hear this. While I didn't interact with her much, I always enjoyed her posts. Rest in peace, @Arete.

I did not know her, but my heart goes out to all her were blessed by her presence on this earth.  Their lives were obviously better for having had her in their lives.

This is so sad .  I am really going to miss her posts - she was always so thoughtful, articulate, and intelligent, and she could dish up the classiest snark.  

I hope her family, friends, and those who love her are able to find peace in their grief.  The world lost a wonderful person.  

My thoughts will be with all who knew and loved her. Thank you for informing us, @Destiny. Rest in peace, @Arete. You and your contributions to FJ will be greatly missed.

Cancer sucks! I don't recognize the name but she obviously touched a lot of you. Rest peacefully, Arête 

 I'm sorry to hear that. Thinking of and praying for her family.

I'm so very sorry to hear this. My condolences to her family and friends.

Oh that's horrible news. A good person gone too soon.

What sad news. My sympathies are with her family.

As a lurker, the first thing I noticed was how she kept it smart and classy even when a thread got a ugly.  The second was her recipes.  My FJ experience will be less without her.  Prayers and condolences to her friends and family, both virtual and in the flesh.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Wishing comfort for all her friends and loved ones.

So sorry to hear this. May her memory be eternal.

I am so sad to hear this.

Condolences to her loved ones. 

Very sorry to hear this. I'm sending lots of good wishes to her family and friends.

Oh no. No, no, no. I'm away for a few days and come back to this.

When I had to say goodbye to my beloved cat last November, Arete wrote to me "cry for JubeJube - she deserves it". I am crying for you, Arete, for your beautiful, generous and funny spirit. 

I hope your funeral has all the bells and smells you could have wished for. Rest in Peace.

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear this! I'm mostly just a lurker but I really enjoy reading here, and I always had nothing but respect for Arete. She was very eloquent and intelligent. I'm so sorry to hear that she's passed, my condolences are with her family and loved ones.

Ah, I'm so sorry to hear this. Cancer is so hard, both for the one diagnosed and for everyone near and dear to the one battling it.

Arete was clever and insightful. I've always enjoyed her posts over the years, and the many contributions she brought to the discussions we've all had here. She will be greatly missed.

I'm wishing her family and friends hope, love, and healing during this time. Rest in peace, Arete. You have your beautiful angel wings now.  

RIP, Arete. 

Thoughts and prayers with Arete's family - both IRL and here.  Rest in peace.

What a shock to see this notice after logging in for the first time in a while. I was unaware that Arete was ill.  This is incredibly sad and difficult to grasp. My deepest sympathies to all who knew and loved her.  I can only imagine what a great lady she was in real life having enjoyed her posts so much here.   She will truly be missed. 

Bum. Cancer sucks ass. My sympathies to her family and friends. 

Dammit.  I didn't know she had cancer,  did she mention it and maybe i was too preoccupied with her recipes?    I haven't been here for a long while. I am really saddened by this.  She was a good one.
