NFT: We lost someone special today

MadPlaid : 8/7/2017 4:12 pm
It is with deep sadness that I must let you all know that my dear big sister, schnitzie, lost her battle with cancer this morning. She did not suffer, and although we knew the end was near, her passing was still a shock. She hadn't posted on BBI in a while, but back when she did, she thoroughly enjoyed the witty banter that often accompanied the lively debates on the forum especially when they were good.

I know that she made a lot of friends through BBI, and kept up contact outside of the site. She would want you to know that she treasured the things about BBI that made it great especially its community feel and how so many times it was there to help people in need.

Cancer flipping sucks. Such a merciless blight on existence. Remember to keep those people who matter to you close, and to let them know often how much you cherish them.

RiffRaff and I and the entire Plaid family will miss schnitzie greatly.

Never met her in person, but one of my favorite people of BBI. She was top drawer. My heartfelt condolences.
A request..

from bb26

She'd like to relay the following:


My heart goes out to Andrea's family, she made a big impact on many many people with her heart, kindness and wit. I'm so sorry that you'll have such a hole to fill, but know how much she meant to so many people.
This truly sucks...

I am honestly at a loss for words. I'll keep you all in my thoughts.

made such an impression on so many people. She was able to make a positive connection to so many of you. She will live on through us.
So sorry for your loss

Many fond memories of her time here.
My condolences to the Ploscowe family

I am so sad to hear of schnitzie's passing. She was a real gem and I have many fond memories of her both as a poster on BBI and a friend outside of this electronic framework.

It is truly a sad day to learn that one so young and talented has succumbed. My heart is heavy with sorrow.
Wow  
chopperhatch : 8/7/2017 8:43 pm : link
Extremely sorry for your loss. That must have been a horrible ordeal.

While schnitzie and myself were never two peas in a pod, she was a staple of this community. She will be missed.

God bless.
I, too, am very sorry to hear this news.  
tony stg : 8/7/2017 8:48 pm : link
Please accept my deepest condolences MadPlaid and RiffRaff.
My condolences..  
Danthebigbluefan : 8/7/2017 8:53 pm : link
To you and her family. I didn't interact with Schnitzie much, if at all, on BBI. Only been to one training camp and live in Canada. But I recall her posts and presence on the board. Fond memories.

All the best
To MadPlaid and the family -  
Big Blue Blogger : 8/7/2017 9:12 pm : link
Thank you for sharing the news, terrible as it is. For all the stuff life threw at Andrea, she kept throwing back love - for people, the world and those Persian cats. She was a wonder.
I really have no words  
Berrylish : 8/7/2017 9:13 pm : link
Such a generous and wicked smart woman. I learned a lot from her on and off BBI. So so so so sad to lose another sister in blue. I'll miss dzaaahlink Schnitzerella. I'm so sorry for your loss Riffy, MP and the rest of the family.

I met your Aunt a few years ago by odd circumstance. We exchanged funny schnitzie stories and talked of her love for her boys in blue (Yankees included) and those Persians!

Rest Easy dzahhlink. Muah muah muah.

So, so sorry to hear this  
montanagiant : 8/7/2017 9:20 pm : link
I always enjoyed the talks she and I had about back in Rochester.

All of my sympathy and condolences to your family MP

Oh yeah. Definitely

I was just thinking of your sister this weekend when someone posted a picture with Hope in it. I remember how caring, positive and resilient she was after Hope passed, and the comfort she gave folks here during that time. I pray your family has that comfort and love blessed on them.
so sorry for your loss  
steve in ky : 8/7/2017 9:31 pm : link
I always enjoyed her posts. Even if I found myself on the opposite side of a debate as her I still enjoyed interacting with her. She was amoung those who have stood out to me during my twenty years on the forum. I will miss her.
Oh,This is such sad news.  
Crispino : 8/7/2017 9:40 pm : link
Schnitzie was a unique, genuine voice here on BBI. I believe she put me in my place more than once, but never in a hurtful or malicious manner. She was content to disagree by simply stating her position. Another important voice on BBI is silenced. May God bless her and all who loved her. I'm so sorry for you family's loss, Madplaid. My condolences to your brother (Rizz?) as well.
wow  
JOrthman : 8/7/2017 9:43 pm : link
So, sorry to hear. She was one of the original group I interacted with. Sad day for BBI, sorry for your loss Mad.

She was awesome. When she lived in Brooklyn we would see each other around occasionally and she was the biggest fan of the butcher and baker etc. on Court St. She loved that side of life. She was always talking about the flowers she was planting, and her cats. Then she'd appear on BBI and get on a good rip about something - it was all part of her personality. She will be missed, even from afar.

I wasn't on BBI since this morning, so I missed this. Schnitzie was a very special lady, with passion and grace, and a good heart. And the guts to take a stand.

Extremely sorry for your loss. It's the world's loss, too.
condolences

We can not lose our grief...since our grief is bound up with our love. We can not cease to mourn without robbed of our affections...

I don't know what to say...my thoughts are with you all...
I know I posted already,  
Dave in Hoboken : 8/7/2017 11:53 pm : link
but I was thinking back to the Yankee game threads of the mid 2000's and how we bonded over our love of ARod, haha. Those were good times. :(

My condolences. RIP.
Very sorry for your loss MadPlaid and riffraff

I never met your sister but could tell from her posts that she made the world better.
Very sorry for your loss  
Mike in Marin : 8/8/2017 12:21 am : link
to you and all her family and friends. She was a bright light here on BBI and out in the real world too, I am sure.

I hope her memory brings you all some comfort and that you think of her with love and fondness every time the Giants and anything and anyone else stirs a beautiful memory of her, for the rest of your lives.

Don't know whether I can handle my first Giants season without my dad this year, but he would want me to try.

Blessings and kind thoughts to all of you who are saddened by this terrible loss.
My condolences  
David A. : 8/8/2017 12:35 am : link
On your loss. So sorry to hear this about your sister, one of the great long-time posters here. I mostly lurk, as I've done since the early days, but I always enjoyed her posts which helped shed a little light on things whether they were Giants or non-Giants related. Peace to her and your entire family.
Yes BBI certainly did lose someone special.  
Phil in Joisey : 8/8/2017 12:47 am : link
Very sad news. My condolences and heartfelt sympathy to you and your entire family. May Schnitzie rest in eternal peace.
She will be terribly missed.
RIP Schnitzie - way too soon - you had many admirers here ...

She was a wonderful voice on this site- a compassionate, smart, and warm one. She will be missed. Very sad to learn this news.
I am very sorry to hear about your loss.  
bigblue1124 : 8/8/2017 6:53 am : link
my sincere condolences to you and your entire family. I was never fortunate enough to meet Schnitzie but did have interactions with her on this site as well remember her being extremely involved in getting the BBI player of the year trophy donation campaign going in honor of Hopej when we all lost her. She always seemed IMV a very caring and loving person and will be truly missed.

My prayers to you and your family
RIP Schnitzie
