Wow. That seems rather sudden. She actually had ads up recently for a mini tour that included dates in Abbotsford and Kamloops -- the link for the Kamloops ad is still visible on the forum index page but is now an invalid link when clicked. And her handle now comes up as an "invalid user". Combined with the web site also being removed, it does seem like a strong indication that she's moved on.
I was only lucky enough to have seen her on 3 occasions. I would've loved to see her more but schedules didn't always align with her local tour dates and on her last visit here, I actually made the effort to book in advance to ensure an opportunity to see her (where my usual MO was to try last minute hoping for availability when I was certain I had a window of opportunity -- as you might guess, that didn't always work out too well) only to get hit by a rather nasty cold a couple of days before her local dates, unfortunately forcing us to cancel. I was really hoping that I'd get to see her again, even if it meant a trip to the Island (or perhaps a long drive to Abbotsford) to do so. Now, it looks like that won't happen after all.
Ms. Emily, if you happen to lurk the forum to read and see this, thank you again for the time you shared with me. You were never anything but wonderful and I enjoyed those times more than I'll ever be able to express. I only hope that all is well with you and that if you've chosen to move on that it's for the best reasons. I wish you only the best -- health, happiness and nothing but success for the future. I will remember you very fondly
