My deepest sympathies and apologies for the passing of your sister. She'll be truly missed. ~Gwennieđď˝ đŹÂ đď˝ 21:01, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

It's good to meet you, even under terrible circumstances. I said more on your sister's talk, and included her in Die Fliege (the fly) which many editors show on their pages, as a little tribute to missed users. Take care of yourself and the family. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 10:27, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
Hello Halo Jerk1. On deeper review and consideration of your email and your further posts to the SPI involving Volteer1, I have now deleted it entirely. Generally speaking, it's not acceptable to publish an extensive quote from a private email without the permission of the author, and (aside from the fact that I'm sure you wouldn't want to communicate with them) you are now in a position where you are unable to even attempt to reach them. The quote from the email that you published was derogatory toward multiple editors, Flyer22 Frozen included, and we don't allow those kinds of unsubstantiated personal attacks, either. More importantly, there's no evidence that the email was, in fact, sent by Volteer1. It is much more likely that it was sent by someone trolling you, Flyer22 Frozen, and/or Volteer1.
Your family's loss has pretty obviously caused you a great deal of distress, which is entirely understandable. It's also clear from your posts that you have been spending a significant amount of time "watching" and reading Wikipedia, and communicating with some of the former colleagues of your sister. The two SPIs you filed have now both been closed as there was not appropriate evidence to support them. These things all point to you having some real issues that are probably beyond the ability of the Wikipedia community to help you with at this time. While you might not like this, I'm going to suggest that you walk away from Wikipedia for several months and allow yourself to heal a bit. If it is possible, you may want to reach out for some bereavement counselling help to figure out how to remember your sister without causing yourself so much pain. You've been a Wikipedian long enough to know that articles get better or worse over time; they get deleted; and Wikipedia is never at a point of stasis. I understand it has to be hard to see changes being made that Flyer22 Frozen might not like, but this is the reality of Wikipedia. Nobody who worked with Flyer22 Frozen over the years is likely to forget her; she is honoured with a well-written obituary, and has had an impact on several areas of the project that will continue to resound for many years to come. Her legacy does live on here. Risker ( talk) 00:21, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
Um, for a final word about it all (I promise), I also want to say thank you to the folks (it was a lot of you, actually, wow) who contacted me to say you believe in my sister's evidence on this. I wish you guys had spoken up, but I know most of you didn't know about the case until you saw the posts about it here on my talk page or heard about it through the grapevine. I can imagine the support the case would have gotten if some kind of notification about it had been posted to my sister's talk page, but I wouldn't want her page used that way even if it almost seems like SPIs should be advertised. Obvs, I am absolutely devastated that my case against Wanderer was thrown out. See the explanation I gave above me. From my line of vision, the CU evidence is meaningless. Several times when presented with CU evidence saying she was wrong, my sister would go above and beyond to prove she was right and earned the respect of a great many people that way. This def includes Ms. Sarah/SlimVirgin (who listened to sister's conclusions about socks), and I'm very sorry to hear about her death. I know they weren't fully in sync at the end of their relationship, but I also know about the year-to-year connection they shared. And I also know I have to get this off my chest right now: I feel the dismissal of the Wanderer case was a complete slap in the face to my sister's memory, a complete disrespect to her judgment, like she was just a madwoman with a grudge making a frivolous claim, and I (or User:Crossroads) was her madman by extension. It goes against her work ethic, as she would say, how careful and thorough she was in identifying socks. She was no less in her right mind when she started working on that evidence. The blood and sweat she put into it makes me proud. Crossroads's evidence was also strong (as experienced wiki folks know what newbies do and don't do). He just had the wrong sockmaster in mind initially.
Be well, all of you. It's time for me to heal as best I can. I wish all of you the best. Halo Jerk1 ( talk) 12:59, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
Hi, Halo,
I just wanted to let you know Iâm thinking of you and your family over the loss of your sister on this first anniversary. I think about her a lot and of the differences she made here on Wikipedia. I hope youâre doing okay :(
