A condolence card to send to Knux's family (Please sign or give input)

Perrin Aybara · 10-10-2006, 08:42 PM

I was thinking that a good way to give proper respect for Knux would be for us all to write a card to mail to Knux's family.

I don't know if it's a good idea or not, or how it will work, but what the heck.

I was thinking just to make an on-going Word card, and let people sign however they want.

Download it, edit it to add what you want, and then reupload it.

Or if you are unable to download it and reupload it, add your part here, and ask someone else to add it.

Share your favorite memories of Knux, offer some kind words to his family, whatever you would like.

When it is finished, we'll mail it to his family.

This is a fluid idea, so feel free to add your comments.

And feel free to add whatever you like to the card, as long as it's proper.

Here's what I have started:

One Problem with that would be How would you get it to the family? Any Ideas?

***Saria Dragon of the Rain Wilds*** · 10-10-2006, 10:19 PM

I may still have his address. I'll get back to you guys in a bit, after I've checked.

Irkenwarrior12 · 10-10-2006, 10:27 PM

Added my part...

ZeldaGirl · 10-10-2006, 10:30 PM

You have to upload the word document again, which I don't know how to do. Maybe we should delegate our messages to someone specifically, so that they can figure it out?

deathscythe · 10-10-2006, 10:30 PM

How Does this work?

Mushi · 10-10-2006, 10:32 PM

So did I. Are we sending this all together or as seperate e-mails? And the only way to upload directly to VGF is to donate...

Perrin Aybara · 10-10-2006, 10:41 PM

It's rather simple. (I think.)

1. If you want, just post what you want to add to the card here. If you just post your signiture/message here, someone (maybe myself, maybe someone else if they volunteer) will add it to the card. This is if you don't want to bother downloading it/uploading it. But please make sure it's clear what you want to add to the card exactly.

2. However, if you do want to add something particular and you want to edit the card yourself, then just download the current, up-to-date version of the card (currently the one I posted in the first post), add what you want (even an image) and then repost a new, updated, reuploaded document. If anyone wants to edit the card, they should use the latest version.

3. I think the point is to mail one, large card all together. And not separate cards. You *can* send something by yourself...but the point of this topic is for a group collaboration.

4. I know there are some people who have his address. I've already talked to Curt about it, and I think he does.

I'm signing it as Legend, because my current PDN, would just make things awkward. I'm clueless, how do you update it?

10-10-2006, 11:09 PM

I did my part.

Swordmaster Link · 10-10-2006, 11:29 PM

I don't have a server to upload to, so I guess I'll just type it here?

You were a friendly, outgoing, funny, and genuine person. The world would do well to have more people like you, and even though you can't be here it's comforting to know that there is someone like you watching over family and friends. Rest in peace Knux. ~SML

I've always been bad with these kinds of things.

Curt · 10-11-2006, 12:03 AM

I have his address, so once everything's in order, we'll send it off.

Mark Prior · 10-11-2006, 12:20 AM

Knux was always very friendly to me and was an overall good guy, and never complained. I can't say half as much as his closer friends possibly could. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. - Bowser314

Also, from Bolt Dragoon:

"This sucks. My best goes out to his family of friends."

Crazybirdanimations · 10-11-2006, 12:39 AM

Add something to the letter for me.

Knux was the best member in VGF. He was nice, And funny. The best member. He was great. May he rest in peace.

***The Doctor*** · 10-11-2006, 05:34 AM

Someone add this in for me.

Knux was a friend, and is going to be deeply missed by all. There will never be another who acted like him. ~Nomytaker

**X-3** · 10-11-2006, 06:42 AM

Add this in:

Knux was probably the funniest member on VGF. Last night, it kept hitting me over and over again that he was gone. He will be missed by everyone. -X-3

Bomby · 10-11-2006, 07:44 AM

Add this:

When I was young, I was always told that it was important to shine your light for the world. Phil was one whose light shone strongly through his great sense of humor. He will be missed. - Malik

Koga · 10-11-2006, 08:35 AM

Someone add this please:

Phil was one of the people I considered my friend despite having never met him or even living in the same country. I really enjoyed all the chats I had with him and his amusing posts at VGF. The place was already different when Phil was away for a few days for another hospital visit, and now it will never be the same again.

One by one
Only the good die young
They're only flying too close to the sun
We'll remember
Forever...

***CaptHayfever*** · 10-11-2006, 09:14 AM

I can't download anything right now 'cause I'm on a shared terminal; I'll look at the file later tonight and try to add something.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
