| About a year or so ago, a UFie by the name of "lessa" was involved in a car accident. She was recovering just fine, but recently it was discovered that she had passed away from complications arising from said accident. She was a bright light in the daily forum, and met quite a few UFies in person from both Canada and the U.S. I myself never had the opportunity to meet her face to face, but I remember her contributions to the online community quite distinctly.
Lessa had a real passion for movies as an art and entertainment form, and shared her knowledge about them freely, encouraging others to enjoy them with the same abandon that she did. As a result, some of lessa's close friends have established a Paypal account [remember_lessa AT ufie * org] to collect a few dollars and donate them in her name to the American Film Institute.
If you were a friend of lessa's please consider this as another way to remember her and give what you can. The collection will remain open until December 5th.
