RIP Ro. Tragic loss.

I'm in complete shock.
Rest in Peace ro xxxx

Rosabeez, mod of this forum, starter of the now-famous 'I can has general discussion thread' and general legend around Maynooth died earlier today. I won't post up the facts here, but if anyone who knew her either through boards or in person wants to post to say something about here they can here.

I've been out in town a few times with Ro and chatted to her loads online and anyone who knew her will tell you straight off that she was one of the soundest, kindest people you could ever meet.

Gone, but will never be forgotten.

RIP Ro Ro.

Just saw it on her FB page too. Does anyone know how it happened? RIP Roe.

Red Alert

My only dealings with her was as a mod on here, and I always found her incredibly helpful and willing to give a dig out when needed. May she rest in peace.

Aldebaran

Woah, I don't know what to say. I never met her but knew her from her posts here, she seemed like a genuinely good person.

RIP Rozabeez.

r3nu4l

Never met her but I absolutely loved the energy you could feel from her posts and she cared a lot about this forum.

We'll miss you, even those of us who only knew you by your avatar!

RIP.

Met her before, she was lovely.
RIP Roz

Kiwi_knock

Never had the chance to meet her, but she was one of the main reasons why this forum was such a friendly place for newbies to post. Says a lot about her character that a thread for condolences was posted in After Hours, she made this forum and Boards a nicer and friendlier place.

RIP Rozabeez

abouttobebanned

I never met you at all. I never spoke to you. But you were one of us...just a normal person, posting in a community. You were taken far too soon. Rest in Peace kid.

Turtyturd

As I said in the AH thread...never met her in person but she was always helpful with any questions I had regarding my course in college, no matter how stupid...R.I.P

BuroniKiisu

One of the nicest people I've ever met who seemed to carry an unconquerable sense of fun about her. I'm actually gutted at this news.

Rest In Peace, Rozabeez.

One of the few people that I could honestly say I have never met someone like them before, or ever again in my life. unbelievable news, RIP Roe.

my thoughts are with her family and to anyone else who have been touched by her.

A Changer

Astonishing. I never met her in person, and only had incidental contact on here, but it says a lot to her character to see this outpouring of grief from everyone.

Rest in Peace - too often, the good die young.

Oh my god, I'm just after seeing this now Such unbelievably sad news.

That's it exactly. Ro is one of the few people who you could honestly say is one of a kind. Never met anyone more welcoming, warm, playful and funny than Ro.

I'll miss you babes, this place will never be as good as it was when you were here.

Thoughts, condolences and best wishes to her family and friends. RIP Ro x

You really nailed it there, that is exactly her. She really was one of those people Maynooth was lucky to have in the first place.

randylonghorn

Crazy, kind, full of divilment, full of life ... impossible that she's gone just like that!

My sincere sympathies to her mother and family.

LeixlipRed

I hate posting again but I just thought of the first time I met her in the Roost c.2008. She roared at me, "hey you, that maths guy, I've been walking around here with this random guy you used to teach trying to find you for an hour, we're friends from the internet". It was hilarious and I'd forgotten about it until now. Legend

CSSE09

I never spoke to her personally but was in the same school a year behind, and had friends in her year, there's nothing I can say that seems right. An absolute tragedy and may she rest in peace.

She once bet me a tenner that I couldn't find you and identify you (I didn't know your real name or what you looked like at the time). After ages tramping around the Maths department asking people if they were LeixlipRed, I gave up and just gave her a tenner. With which she bought us both a drink. Great woman.

I never knew about that Rob or maybe I've just forgotten. Tell me the story next time I see you.

Michellenman

@LeixlipRed, I think that was her style

The first night I met Ro was about 2.5 years ago, in the roost smoking area. I was there with some friends and Ro and her friends sat beside me and she just leaned in and whispered in my ear 'I know you from the internet...' before collapsing in to fits of giggles and then dragging me to do shots

One in a million, she is.

nothing

Originally knew her from Mikado, and being on the committee together, girl was an absolute legend. Completely shocked by the news, the world has lost an epic girl.

funky penguin

I can't think of any suitable words, so apologies if I ramble a bit.

I first met Ro through boards, hanging out in TCN, having late night ramblings with other boardsies that eventually formed one of the many cliques on boards. It evolved into LUBNiP, which now seems very silly, but I love it for helping me become her friend.

Fortune led us to starting college in NUIM at the same time, so naturally we decided to finally meet face to face! I'm so happy I did! She was more funny, helpful and bright in real life than she was on boards (if that was possible!). I suppose our friendship kind of came full-circle when we started modding NUIM together.

I have two very fond memories of her, one from each 'life' I knew her, and both will selfishly stay with me.

I'm really going to miss you Ro.

allandanyways

I knew Roe through a friend from primary school and met her out a few times before actually speaking to her. I had been shifting a mutual friend on and off who she had shifted years ago and she came up to me one night in the roost and said "Your X's friend who's been meeting Y!! You're a fcuking legend!!" and so our friendship was born.

She never ceased in telling me how fabulous she thought I was (once roared "YOU ARE FCUKING GORGEOUS" down the stairs in John Hume at me at 12oc in the day) and I have so many pictures of us together on nights out, it's just breaking my heart here looking at them.

She was a livewire, she was electric, she didn't give a **** what people thought about her and she was absolutely the most bubbly person I have ever, ever met. She will be so, so missed and Maynooth and Leixlip will be lesser places without her sparkle.

RIP Roe, you were one in a million! xx

Clare Bear

Such sad news

The number of people on Boards saying they've been drunkenly harassed by her (myself included) is something else, you have to smile at that RIP Roe xx

TouchingVirus

We met a few times through Mikado and around the NUIM Campus. She never really took that smile off her face, I was sure it was there permanently. Always up for the craic, and just so full of enthusiasm for anything, including the travelling.

RIP Roe, you will be missed

XxMCRxBabyxX

I never got to meet Roz and it's something I always wanted to do coz she was so awesome whenever we talked on boards or on facebook. I always remember as a memebr of the boardsie hotties. Just another random boards convo. She was great though.

My sincere thoughts are with all her family and friends.
an amazing girl taken far, far too young

ScissorPaperRock

Met Roz at a few boards beers and around Maynooth on occasion. She was wonderful, always bright and bubbly.

You'll be missed Ro.

Myself , roe and another friend made a whole drunken adventure out of photographing a cup around maynooth then fúcking it in a canal , thats one of many adventures , youll be missed roe

Like many of you, the first time I had contact with Roisin was here on boards. It was way back when in 2005 when we sat the Junior Cert. We campaigned for the JC board along with others and together, we got one (which is still here today ). I had frequent contact with her, but over the following two years, nothing considered important.

The first time I met Roe was actually in our induction for Arts. She said her name was Roisin, and I thought nothing more of it. Spotted her in our first sociology lectures and again, just really thought she was a friendly girl.

It was about a month or two in, a Roisin popped up on my MSN messenger list. I was thinking "When did I ever add a Roisin on this?" and to this day, I cannot remember how. I popped up and asked her who this was, and she said she was "Rozabeez". I couldn't remember adding her, but knew instantly who she was. We got talking, and eventually, we asked each other were we were in our lives.

We simply figured out we were actually classmates and had no idea we were both online friends. It was such a funny event meeting her after that. She shouted aloud over her friends "That's JBoyle4eva from boards!". After that, I'd always see her either in a sociology lecture or out on campus, either in the SU or elsewhere. No matter what, Roisin was a hugely optimistic and happy person.

One of my favorite memories of her is meeting her on her birthday on what was a normal day for me in The Roost. I was getting food in there and it was a pretty miserable December day outside. But inside was her and her friends, having the time of their lives celebrating her birthday. She was merry, happy and full of life.

I think that's why I'll miss her.

Repose en paix mon amie xx

My beautiful , vibrant wonderful friend I cant believe this is real . We were so lucky to know you

"Lo! some we loved, the loveliest and best
That Time and Fate of all their Vintage prest,
Have drunk their Cup a Round or two before,
And one by one crept silently to Rest."



Such a sparkling, wonderful lady. She brought everyone together for some amazing times, and was the life of the party. I'll miss your hugs and your smiles my dear. xxx

dr.quirky

Im shook. never knew her that well, used to bump into her at most random times round maynooth, used to look forward to it almost a kind and fun soul . fact that she'l be missed by so many is proof to the tragedy that is. kindest thoughts with her family

squishykins

I arrived in Maynooth (and Boards) too late to know her, but for some reason I feel really upset from this. Maybe because she was so young, but I think moreso from the messages here, it's clear what a lovely person she was who didn't deserve to be taken. Wish I could have gotten to know her, R.I.P.

funky penguin

I toyed with the idea of closing Ro's epic thread, mainly because I don't think anyone wanted to casually discuss a general topic after people posting condolences (which is completely understandable). So, I've merged some posts from the general discussion thread to this one.

Personally, I'd love to keep it open. I hate the idea of it falling through the pages of the NUIM forum (I don't think it's ever left the first page!). I read through a few of Ro's posts last night, and I hope that leaving it open will encourage newcomers and oldies alike to do the same and be reminded of a what an amazing person Ro was.

It's just my opinion though, and if anyone has any problems with it please don't hesitate to PM me.

Personally I think leaving it open is the greatest memorial this forum could have for her

To me, she will always be pirate girl. To a life that was short but not short-lived. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.


Darling

You might forget the exact sound of her voice
Or how her face looked when sleeping.
You might forget the sound of her quiet weeping
Curled into the shape of a half moon,

When smaller than her self, she seemed already to be leaving
Before she left, when the blossom was on the trees
And the sun was out, and all seemed good in the world.
I held her hand and sang a song from when I was a girl -

Heil Ya Ho Boys, Let her go Boys
And when I stopped singing she had slipped away,
Already a slip of a girl again, skipping off,
Her heart light, her face almost smiling.

And what I didn't know or couldn't see then
Was that she hadn't really gone.
The dead don't go till you do, loved ones.
The dead are still here holding our hands.
-Jackie Kay

Sitting here reading through all these amazing memories of Ro is heart-breaking. I knew Ro through friends in Leixlip and like many here, I instantly realised what a nice girl she was. Meeting her on boards, it never clicked until one day at our friends house we realised. She was always smiling, I don't think I ever saw her sad. I remember standing at Bewleys just over a year ago while she told me all about her plans to go away to travel and I was so jealous but delighted she was getting the chance to do something I don't think I would ever be able to do.

I wasn't terribly close to her but the loss is just so devastating. I miss her already, my friends are struggling how to cope without her, it's just so upsetting.

I'm rambling so I'll wrap up. Thank you for every single memory that all of us had with you, friends for years or minutes, everyone you met miss you already. Sleep well Roisin, xxxxx

Walterella

I posted on the thread in after hours, I don't normally post on Boards, Roe was the one who made me join but then I always just forgot... but once I heard about all the nice things people were saying about one of my beast friends I had to come on and take a look. I just want to thank you all for the wonderful things you are saying about her, she was an amazing person and the best friend anyone could ever ask her, I am so lucky to have every known her. I have so many wonderful and happy memories all because of her.

Someday we shall meet again, and I will be looking forward to that day.

Also for anyone who would like to know there is an article in page 8 of The Star newspaper today.

I only started getting into Boards from reading the Nuim forum. Since before christmas I've sifted through thread after thread because I'm heading to Maynooth next year. As I read I noticed the recurring poster and ever so helpful Rozabeez. I never knew her. I never even PMed her. But her personality seems to jump from her posts. She seems like such a nice person and I feel sorry that I will never get to know her. R.I.P.

daffodil14

Never met her but she seemed like a wonderful, bubbly, and generally a loving person.

Her family and friends are in my prayers and i'll light a candle in Lough Derg in her memory from all the members on Boards.

May she rest in peace.
