Description
On April 27th, 2005, Meryl Staley, a 17 year old junior, has passed away peacefully. Since the beginning of the year she discovered that she had leukemia. Last we heard from her is that she was getting better.I knew her since two years ago. It's funny how we met. I went on a school shopping mall trip and was planning on wandering around the mall by myself (because I was a loser and had no one to really go with at that time) and it was then I met her. She was also by herself and she kindly asked whether she could hang around the mall with me. I never really talked to her before but by her kind courage I got to know her more during this trip. When I opened a new bottle of handsoap for her to wash her hands with she continually thanked me throughout the day even though it wasn't much. On my 18th birthday she gave me a rather interesting and fun day by cursing at the taxi company who kept us out in the cold rain for over and hour (and afterwards she called right away to apologize and tell that she was actually a really nice girl). She was a nice girl, a girl who smiled all the time and had a heart like an angel. She was a pretty girl who was kind to everyone. When we mention her she is remembered as the awkward but a very good girl who loved her friends and made them laugh.
We will all miss her presense. I know she's in a good place now. Rest in peace Meryl...rest in peace...
"It's something unpredictable but in the end is right. I hope you had the time of your life."

We miss you Meryl. Like Sadako Sasaki who passed away, suffering from leukemia at the age of 12 in 1955.
Imagine if Meryl did not make 1000 paper cranes, she was dead already. :sad-angel:

LOL.
Ergh, your attempts at a girly oh-so-caring tribute have gone horribly awry. Not only are those chibi characters are so freakin' inappropriate, but your 'memories' of her amount to nothing more than cramming the word 'nice' and 'kind' into 'stories' about soap, and taxis.
Way to piggyback off of the death of someone you didn't really know.
Reading through all the comments on this deviation makes me fucking sick. "I'm so sad" "Sniffles" "Truly moving".
You're all fakes, and morons.

Seriously, what the fuck?
How messed up can you be? Somebody's friend died!
Gone!
I bet you anything that you would be upset if your friends died!
What would you do to cope? Because Nyu sure as hell has a right to post a tribute. And besides, don't be so rude about saying you don't like her art.
I don't like yours, but that's a personal opinion, and I didn't go and say "Wow, this sucks." I simply went to a drawing I liked, like every other intelligent person. And if you didn't read, she knew her for two years. I think she would know her by then, dumbass!

OKay faggot listen up.I dont care how late this comment is just listen. First of all the chibi drawings are her style okay? leave her alone 2nd the memories are memories if you don't appritiate that then It should have been YOU who died got it? And the comments of course they are sad when someone dies its no minor thing. These comments are meant for Nyu to feel better even though was a few years ago.
YOU go die YOU are a heartless piece of shit I would scrape of my boots YOU ARE WHAT THE WORLD HATES!
Seriously do the world a favour and KILL yourself!

you need help, man, a girl poors her heart out to mourn the loss of a friend, what makes you think that you have the right to mouth off at her like that, get some help, because you have some serious, serious, issues
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I'm sorry, but why even waste your time to say that you think someone's fake? It was pointless an mean. Everyone has different ways of coping, so who are you to tell someone off for this?

What the hell is wrong with you???

You have no right to come on here and run your demeaning and filthy mouth at Nyu. Please take your pointless judgment elsewhere.

ya, I'am very angry with those who really have no hearts. I just really dpn't understand with all these people

How could you say that? You're right, you ARE sick. A friend of her's died and you're talking trash about her for posting something in her honor.

Thats terrible. My sympathy goes out to you and all of her family and friends. Not everyone knows how terrible and life changing it is to lose a friend so close to you. I lost my friend brian of cancer a few years ago. It changed my life forever and I think about him every day.

I'm sorry for your loss. Why must the good die? I'm sure she's watching over you nyu. I started crying when I read your description, even though I didn't know Meryl. Just remember, life is like a corridor, death is just when you reach the door. Then the real adventure begins.
R.I.P Meryl, may your spirit live forever.
