Goodbye Highlander

[acameron]

In 2001/2 while I was living in Edinburgh a small band of "Orgers" joined in from all over the world usually on a Friday night and we used to congregate in the chat room of Caithness.org. How strange we must have all looked to our family as individuals sitting in front of a computer screen in tears of laughter. Highlander was one of “the crew” back in the good old days where we looked forward to Friday nights when the craic was sometimes outrageous. Highlander was one of the first moderators, and I don’t want to grass her off but I am sure she won’t mind telling you, she used to abuse her authority and lovingly giving me the "boot" from the chat room when I used to get the better of her.
I met Highlander in person in 2002 and knew who she was and from then on regard Highlander and Mr Highlander (as she used to regard her better half) as solidly good people who would go out there way to help you where ever they could.
I am so saddened by the news and my heart goes out to all the family. I will miss you Highlander X

There are many who will have fond memories of Highlander and her warm, friendly personality. She was full of life and laughter, her eyes twinkled when speaking to you. Sadly missed indeed and heartfelt condolences to her family.

Couldnt believe what I was reading and had to check it was the "highlander" from the forum.
She was such a welcoming "influence" when I first joined.

So sorry to hear of such a sad loss.

Beautifully said AC. She was one in a billion, such a kind and funny lady. I've very fond memories of those nights in the chatroom when we would be crying with laughter. It was even better when we met in person, highlander and I felt like long lost sisters. I'll miss her more than words can express....

Goodnight sweet lass you gave so much to one and all.
We shall not see the like again,
You made us laugh,
You made us cry,
Our ribs ached with the with the jokes you played.
A light went out in the world last week,
But we had the joy of your company.
Forever in our minds.

How sad this has made me. I too enjoyed those nights in the days when the chat room was buzzing and the Craic was well....crackling. I met Highlander then too and we laughed as much in real life as in our Friday night chat sessions. I'm so sad to hear this and my heart goes out to Mr Highlander and the rest of her family.
