Eric-
I'm very sad to hear about your and your family's loss. I've been a part of ENWorld (if not necessarily a vocal one) since the first rumors about 3rd Edition began to surface, and coming to this site (and the many others, of which this proved the champion- there can be only one!) was one of the things I most looked and look forward to during the course of my day. As your grandmother was mentioned on many an occasion, I echo your sentiment that she is very much a part of ENWorld to this day.
You have my thanks for your efforts in bringing ENWorld about, and my condolences for your grandmother.
