Just wanna say you might want to correct the 2nd picture where it says Disney Nut. I am DisneyNut but thats not me. Its possible that it could be Disneyland Nut or another Disney Nut. I’ve had a few people tell me they seen me on here and came to check it out but that def. not me.

My sympathies on the loss of your friend.

While I did not know Garfield I have been on the internet for years and I too have lost friends.

The internet in it’s many forms is real life, even the make believe part.

I’m sorry to hear about your loss. The death dynamic in virtual societies isn’t as cut a dry as it is in real life. You’re fortunate that you were able to know, for certain, that your friend has passed so you could grieve properly. Many times friends just disappear. Never to be heard from again.

Garfield-50 was fortunate to have made such friends. The fact that he will be missed by so many says quite a lot about his character.

If anyone ever wondered if Home friends are like real friends, right here is there answer.

What a great article! I am so sad about how it came about, but this was another in the many gifts he left behind.

I didn’t know Garfield-50 either, but I have been effected by the ripples he left in the pond. And the ripples will continue. Thanks for this one!

It’s tough saying goodbye to the ones you love. May those left behind find peace. Nice article Cheeky.

Very nice Cheeky. Gar was truly my best friend on Home and he will always be a part of me. I will always miss him and Home will never be the same without him.

Also wanted to say that the article is well done. I think it is an important reminder of just how much the people we meet in Home can touch our lives, and that they are indeed real people, not a bunch of colored pixels.

I knew Garfield as he was one of the first members of the Grey Gamers. We used to talk quite regularly at first, then the club got bigger and life took over and he stopped attending the meetings. But that is all right, I still kept him on my friends list for months afterward until he requested that we go our separate ways as we both really needed the spaces on our list. I always knew him to be a funny and kind person as well Cheeks and was sad to hear of his passing. I had his son on my friend list for awhile and I believe his wife as well. I wish them all the best in this difficult time. I know what it feels like having lost a sister and my father, both at an early age. I will pray that they find solace in each other and that the Lord will help them find peace.
