My condolences to Steve and the SJG family.

AOTA · 06-19-2020, 05:41 PM

My condolences. I remember working with her when I did booth work for SJG in the 80's and 90's. Very welcoming she will be missed.

BrianEye · 06-19-2020, 07:34 PM

My deepest condolences.

tonyc_76 · 06-19-2020, 07:56 PM

My condolences to everyone in SJG. In fact, to everyone who knows her. May she rest in peace.

KCJones · 06-19-2020, 07:57 PM

My deepest sympathy, Steve.

I'm so sorry for your loss. :-(

Randyman · 06-19-2020, 08:09 PM

We all mourn with you. May Monica rest in peace, and may all who knew her heal and keep their happiest memories of her always.

Condolences from my family to Steve and to SJG.

Steve Jackson · 06-19-2020, 09:45 PM

Thanks to you all.

Yes, she was amazing, and so few people outside SJ Games realized how much she was doing, and for so long. We are poorer in organizational knowledge now, as well as in our hearts. You cannot replace someone like that. But she made it very clear to me that no one was allowed to curl up and die just because she was gone for a while. So, we won't.

Again, thank you. I am a bit choked up as I read these.

I've never met Steve, nor of course Monica, but SJG has been part of my life for over 40 years now. My heart goes out to you, and knowing you're hurting, makes me hurt. Be strong, and know we're all deeply affected.
