RIP Roe

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

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

You'll be missed Ro.

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

"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

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.

+1.

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

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.
