+AtlantaGal Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 (edited) Like me, some of you may have traded personal coins with Leigh Ann. Since she was into the coins, I feel this announcement is appropriate for the geocoin forums. She died yesterday evening in a motorcycle accident. http://www.contracostatimes.com/mld/cctime...ws/14596956.htm My deepest condolances to her family and friends.

+Mystery Ink Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Having known her she was a real pleasure to cache with and was fun to be around. She will be missed. Quote Link to comment
+cqdx Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Anyone have one of her new coins? From what I have heard from others she was great gal and she will be missed. Quote Link to comment
+Mystery Ink Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 (edited) Yeah she gave us one at one of our local events she was a really great gal full of energy. She enjoyed puzzle caches and she sure was good at solving them. Edited May 18, 2006 by Mystery Ink Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 (edited) Every geocacher is part of the community. and her loss makes me sad. A blessing on her and her family. Edited May 18, 2006 by BlueDeuce Quote Link to comment
+Team 5150 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 That is so sad. I didn't get the chance to meet her yet. Godspeed Motogrrl. Quote Link to comment
gridlox Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Oh WOW! So sad to hear new like this. Cacher or non-cacher alike. We'll be praying for her family. What is it with motorcycles this year!?!? (I'm almost afraid for all my fiends and family to get out on their bikes and ride!! ) I know spring time has given all motorcyclist the fever to get out and ride. But it seems that people are just not paying attention to them on the road these days. Here in the Rome, GA area we have had 4 motorcycle fatalities in the past 6 weeks!! Be careful out there folks!! PLEASE pay extra attention for our two wheel roadway companions!! D-man Quote Link to comment
+Blue iis Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Yep... A good person. We had traded personal Geocoins and I had picked up a few of her wooden nickels. Quote Link to comment
+BackBrakeBilly Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Being as Better Half and I are both Harley riders, this hits close to home. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family, God be with you during this sad time. Quote Link to comment
+summerandnana Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Motogrrl, one of those few cachers that loved to leave her coin behind. I feel fortunate to have found one in a cache and made the trade. Thanks Motogrrl, the Bay Area cachers will miss you. Quote Link to comment
+Nero Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I didn't know her, but it always sad when someone dies in an unfortunate accident such as this. This is the second cacher who died in a motorcycle accident in the past several months. Quote Link to comment
+budd-rdc Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Anyone have one of her new coins? From what I have heard from others she was great gal and she will be missed. I don't have one of her coins, but saw them in person when she brought them to an event (BackBrakeBilly was also there). It was amazing how quickly she came up with the final design and had them minted. My connection to her is that we both used the Magellan GPS Companion attached to a Handspring Visor. She was smart, funny, and never minced words. She hosted an event last September, and was hosting one this weekend, which made the accident even more tragic. We're going to miss her.

+Eartha Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 (edited) My deepest condolences go out to her family and friends. It's such a tragedy when we lose someone so young, so early in life, when they have so much still to give. I did not know her, but I just visited her extensive gallery of photos and this photograph of her own, I think, will be appropriate here in memoriam.

+Big JohnP Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 It's awful when someone has such a terrible accident. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family. The rest of you guys and gals with motorcycles, be careful. We have already lost too many, this year. Quote Link to comment
+TeamMaddog Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 The article on her death was very upsetting, I have a nephew that rides a motorcyle and I worry. Does she have any kids ? Maybe we can start some sort of fund. Quote Link to comment
+carleenp Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 (edited) Anyone have one of her new coins? From what I have heard from others she was great gal and she will be missed. Wow. This is disconcerting and sad. Her coin is one of my absolute favorites because of the story behind it. She was in Nebraska and saw my car parked next to this cache (My Mom put it in my work parking lot as a joke). So she stuck a coin under the driver's side mirror. I was out of town when she logged it online and drove around for a week before I learned of it. When I did, I ran out to the car thinking no way it could still be there. But it was! I wrote and asked her if I could keep it or if she wanted me to move it. She said I could keep it. Now it means even more to me, but under very unfortunate circumstances. Her friends and family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Edited May 18, 2006 by carleenp Quote Link to comment
+2Wheel'in Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Very sad news to hear, may her family's God give them comfort and may Motogrrl rest in peace. Bill Quote Link to comment
