I'm sorry... I really don't know what I can say that's not trite.  You've been really  cool ever since I first saw your postings on the VBB many years ago, and I wish you the best of luck in everything....
Long time ago, you see, there was this thing called the VBB and... oh, nevermind.

This is so utterly unfortunate... Heartbreaking... :sigh:

I really don't know what to say :(

I've always saw you as the light of this community, everything good here is in someway related to you. I wouldn't even have come here when I did if you hadn't invited me and told me about this place. You've always supported me in good times and in bad and talking to you is one of the things I always look forward to.
There's not a single person who won't be sad that you're leaving especially under these circumstances.

I don't know who wrote this but I think it's very apt:

"If I could give you one thing I would wish for you, the ability to see
yourself as others see you, then you would realize what a truly special
person you are".


All my hope and prayers go with you and your family. Keep smiling and don't let go of hope. Godspeed and take care.

Its times like this that the expression of words is a poor an inadequate substitute for what you really want to say but can't.  

Setekh, you have been a valuable member of this community.  You have helped people, shown more paitence than I ever could, shown us your amazing talents, and achieved a noble goal of helping create something larger than yourself.  The reason that this place exists is through the hard work, determination, and vision of the people who started it and do not discount yourself among those who made it happen and gave it purpose and presence.

I think I speak for everyone in the community when I say that we will be sad to see you go, and even sadder at the bad news about your mom and the tough times ahead of you.  Know that although some of us are thousands of kilometers away, in other countries and on other continents, we are thinking about you and your family.

Never give up hope.

I've been on and off the Freespace community for well over two years, and many don't know me, but I've always admired your work for the community, and know that without you and it just won't be quite the same. That being said, I hope that when you return we will have reached some new level beforehand.

Setekh, I am sorry to hear the bad news. :(

Ice already said very nicely, it is hard to add anything on it.
Best luck to you, your mom and rest of your family. :(

Setekh aka Eddie, always the behindt he scenes guy who helped out the lesser modder-folk in the commmunity. Thanks to him alot of art i created was inspired through his works. I lost a grandfather to cancer when i was 9, saddly i was too young to realize the hurt, my own ignorence, but now it does hurt to see, even though we may never meet, that a friend of mines has family in the same situation.

I hope that you, your family, and mother do well, hope to hear from you soon.

Do well and give her the cimmunities best wishes.

I've had your mum in my prayers since that one, isolated ICQ, Setekh. I feel the same way Styxx and everyone else does. Though I have not known you personally, you have nonetheless been a mentor and a vast help to me, and in fact the entire community. You have done wonderful things here, and we will always keep it running. Never forget that.

Until you return, Tang-boy. We'll be waiting for you. :(

That's the most important thing of all. I, like everyone else send my best wishes for your whole family.

Believe me, you've helped us all so much already - creating HLP, providing inspiration and input, and having such good humour and the will to take on new tasks, even up until yesterday.

We'll miss you, but your family must always come first. Good luck with everything.

Well, everything has just about been said already, but the loss of such a friendly, patient and resourceful member of the FS community is indeed a saddening event for all of us. :( I wish your mother a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing you return soon.

btw I see a render coming up about this...;)
