R.I.P. Erica Denny

Erica, AKA Artfisch was a regular and veracious participant with our community here on Tattoodles for years. It is with profound regret that I announce her passing.

It's very sad circumstances. She leaves behind five young children and a devoted husband. I can't imagine what they must be going through. My heart goes out to them.

Here is Artfisch's legacy page on Tattoodles: http://www.tattoodles.com/community/members/artfisch/

If anyone would like to help Erica's family through this difficult time, I'm taking donations on behalf of all the tattooers and friends on The Read Street Forum. Please give whatever you can to my PayPal account: adam@tattoodles.com and I'll consolidate the collection and pass it along to her husband and kids.

Was just woken up by a text from another Toodles member with this news and I just cant believe it. Again I had never met her, but we shared messages and I kept up with her on facebook. I feel terrible for her children, husband and friends. My thoughts go out to all of them.

What horrible news! We were just talking about her last night when Chris brought his camera into the kitchen with a decidedly "Erica" shot taken with slo-mo. So eerie that her name came up and then to hear this sad news. She was such a life force.

It was about 13 months ago and it was today. I learned of her passing today.

I've posted a few words about my feelings on my page. Here, though, I want to say: I'm shocked and saddened to learn of Erica's death. She was a woman who seemed to be blossoming, becoming, more each day.

Checking in, now and then,..it seemed that way.

I think the contest here in the forum a fine way to remember her. She created something in each person she met...and it is a good thing if that others go on to create in her name.

May she rest in peace and may some peace of her live on always.
