In memory of Sandra 'Mania' Powers

[Royi]

RIP Mania. Thank you for creating this site and even moreso, creating the forums to go along with them. Lot of fun memories browsing these pages, sharing rare tame stories, raging about not having Gnome Hunters available, all because of the community you created. Where I too probably haven't posted in a decade, I always felt this community was one of the most kind and inclusive groups that I have come across on the internet, and ESPECIALLY with any communities from a game.

I'm glad to see it's still going strong. May you be granted extra stable slots in the next life. RIP

thank you, Mania, for everything you brought to Petopia--your sense of humor, your perspective, your work at making this a safe space for all of us 'crazy people'

we lost you too soon, but I'm glad you're no longer hurting.

I logged back in to comment on this. I found out about her passing via the wow pets site, and was very shocked and sad to hear this. I've lost several people to Cancer, including my first Bengal. So this really hits home. Really sorry to hear about her passing.

I’m another one that hasn’t been active in years, just saw the news of Mania’s passing. RIP Mania, thanks for being so kind to me when I joined the forum in its infancy, and letting me contribute some graphics and icons. It meant a lot to me, as did this forum for many years. Rest in peace

Mania <3

I haven't played or been active in so many years and just saw this last night. I hope she's at peace, and my heart goes out to her husband and their families. What a legend <3
