Dear Friends,

It is with a sad heart that I make my first posting to these forums. On August 25th, a bright light and loving individual departed from our lives. The generous and caring woman known as Saphryna Silverwaters passed while undergoing a procedure in the hospital. I make this post to inform you all of this unfortunate loss and to inform you that I will be organizing a memorial event for her in the coming weeks. Additionally the family is now burdened with the great expense of seeing to her final rites. If any of you have questions, would like to help the family, wish to make any special contributions for either her personal or digital ceremonies, feel free to send messages to the following email account.

Both myself and her family will have access to it and I feel certain they would welcome your thoughts or testimonials on how she helped brighten all our lives.

inmemoryofsaphryna@outlook.com

You have my heart felt thanks for helping to honor the memory of this wonderful woman.

With my deepest regards,

Kiritan Thundersoul

Saphryna was a joy, a gem to be around. To have known her was to know peace and a friend in deed. To tell you all about the wonderful person that she was is nearly impossible, I can only scratch the surface. To have been in her life was phenomenal, she’s a wonderful person and full of such love and kindness. She was one of my many closest friends in Dragon Realms and one of the few I considered as a sister. I’m glad I had the opportunity to have gotten to know her, and cheer for her on happier times, and be a shoulder for her to cry on for those times when she felt low. To convey what my heart sings about her cannot be fully put into words but my heart will continue to sing, as that’s where she dwells now and forever until my passing. In the immortal words of Billy Pilgrim she may be gone from this when, but she lives and thrives in other whens, which is to say she lives on in our memories, and our dreams. I close with a poem by Langston Hughs’ Helen Keller because to me Saphryna embodies this poem perfectly:

She, In the dark, Found light Brighter than many ever see. She, Within herself, Found loveliness, Through the soul’s own mastery. And now the world receives from her dower: The message of the strength Of inner power.

Love ya, Saphy, you are missed!

I'm writing this through tears, quietly sobbing in my office. I will try to keep it brief.

Laurie Wright, known in game as Saphryna Silverwaters (among others) passed away yesterday 8-25-2017. I'm in no state to get into details, but she did pass quietly and pain free while asleep.

I thought of her as a beautiful gem, so precious, so rare.. Inside and out. Truly one of a kind....

She will be dearly missed by many. Her genuinely sweet, beautiful and kind soul touched the hearts of many, and she will always have a spot in mine.

I love you my beautiful Saphy, may you forever sleep sweet.

Um, I don't even know where to start. When I first met Laurie, she was playing Syance. She was still with Patryck back then. And they had a son Nekota. And I met her through Patryck. And we would talk. And she decided she wanted to adopt Kyodan as her birth son. I had played DR before this time, once when it was still on aol. But my character never had a family. Syance and Patryck were the first DR family I ever had. And, I'm sorry, I'm not good with expressing myself. I want her real family to know that Laurie wasn't just the player of Kyodan's mother. She was my friend, someone I could talk to, just....she was an amazing person, not just in DR. I remember, one time. she had wanted me to join her on skype with her boyfriend. And, so I'm on the phone, because my laptop didn't have a camera, and it was the first time I heard her voice. And we just talked and talked. Her boyfriend was in the background having absolutely NO idea what we were even talking about. And finally we had to hang up. But talking with her made me happy.

She left DR after another player disappeared. The character had been her ig husband for a long time. Then suddenly, I see her in game, walking by, and I do a double take. And I'm like, no way. And I quickly get on my IM, and am telling Chris, who had played her first son, Nekota, I was like Oh My God, Laurie is back! I just saw her as Syance. She's back!! He quickly logs in with the character he had at the time, and we both search and finally find her, and I gave her the biggest hug. It had been a long while. She hated talking by IM. She preferred to facebook. So I followed her there too and we talked sometimes. I haven't logged on to Facebook in awhile, so if someone was putting updates on her profile, I missed them. And I am so so sorry.

To Laurie's family - She role played my character, Kyodan's, mother. However, in real life, she was like a mother to me too. She would comfort me when I was upset. Whenever I ran into her in game, she would give me a great big hug. And I liked to think if I had been able to get down to Florida to visit her, we would have given each other huge hugs and told each other, Hello my other family. I cant fathom what you must be feeling. Many people will be writing messages, because she was just an amazing person. There are so many stories, so many things I could go into, to talk about. But I think it can maybe be summed up that Laurie, the player of Syance and Saphryna, was like family to me, and I will miss her so much. And I know you are grieving, but take this to heart: She was a wonderful human being. A caring, loving individual. She might have been "playing a role" but her words and feelings for people she liked and cared about, were real.

I wish I could go down there, to attend her funeral, but I am unable to travel. But one needs not be in person to wish comfort to those who have lost. Laurie's heart is in everyone she has every cared about. She had a huge heart. I give my condolences to her real life family, and I ask if there is anything I can do to help you during this time. If information is being put on Facebook as well, I will check there for funeral information. I can't be there, but I want to be able to pray and think about her while others who love her are thinking and saying goodbye to her as well.

Saphryna ... I will miss you. You brought such a sweetness and a warm atmosphere to the Empath guild. You were so huggy and huggable. You're in a better place now, you are loved.

I knew her well. I am the player of Measly Warmage and several others. she had many bodies , just one soul. she smiled , she laughed and even on occasion got angry. All of which endowed her "girls" with character each there own. I remember the first time I ran across her, she was shuffling items from one girl to another, "matching Outfits" ... Ayaon her bard was lying on the ground ( with massive roundtime ) and her empath at the time was inside the vaults or whatnot. I spoke "line" are you alright.. I got a smile and "no line just us nearly dead mules" . we spoke until the empath got tossed out of the vaults by the attendant. we laughed and chatted a bit. she had spirit and always did her best to play an honest in character performance. I am always remember the smile and polite conversation, even when the world was collapsing around her. even now I wish, she and I could sit and chat as we did the last couple weeks when I came back to the game after a long break. the realms will be tough without her, the lights of the heavens got brighter, as the world went dimmer. God Blass you, Sweet lass.

She was an absolute joy to interact with, and made many days very enjoyable just by having conversation with her. Every day will be a little more grey without her light.
