    Hello fellow writers,

    I feel a huge sense of regret in having to inform you that Janedoewrites (Crystal) has passed away.

    Her writing was amazing and it was on here at PnQ that we met, provoked each other to the point of madness and some years later married, our love of writing brought us together and she will be sorely missed by family and friends, her passion for poetry was only matched by her love for her family, animals and the universe and she brought a lot of love into the world.

    I have no other words than these right now but felt that some she connected on here have a right to know.

    Big loves

    Ben

    Indeed a sad news.
    I 'did not know her. but I checked now, she was a strong poet too. She reminds me of those stars that their lights reach you long after they 're gone.
    My condolences and prayers to her family,
    She looks soo young and vibrant, what was the reason if yo don't mind to share?

    I knew you were Ben from your first post.
    Thanks for sharing.

    I am so sorry to hear this news. I remember reading her poetry and seeing her presence on here nearly a decade ago, and the light she brought through her writing. I'm sorry I didn't know her better. Thinking of you and her family, friends, everyone... sending all my love.

    Ben, I am so genuinely sorry. I know from past conversations what she meant to you and how you two came to be married. She truly was a gifted poet and I remember reading her work from our time in Rainbow Writers and she was one of the first poets on here I interacted with, along with yourself. You have my sincerest condolences and you know where to find me.

    Ben, you are a gentleman as always, I genuinely appreciate your sentiment, she was definitely one of a kind and I wish she shared more of her writing here, she literally had reams of poetry that she had written. Thank old boy I hope and the family are well.
