Nivina describes herself...
I'm a German Tolkien admirer and am deeply impressed by his works, especially The Lord of the Rings trilogy. My favourite character is Frodo Baggins who won't leave me alone and forces me to write poems and stories about him. ;)

Thoughts and Memories from WotR Staff and Community
Frodo's Love has been with us for just about as long as we've been online. She was always an outstanding member of the Community contributing not only as a Subscriber and Staff member, but more importantly by sharing her love of Tolkien with fellow fans in the true spirit of Fellowship. She was always willing to lend an ear and be supportive to anyone who needed her, and her good natured humour and thoughtfull insights c
It is indeed a sad day when one of our own sails into the West, and it grieves me very much to know that she has indeed passed ... her siggy is quite appropriate for this moment.
Above the Sea your spirit breathes
Laughter and joy, no fear or despair
The evil voices... their echo, it ceases
No longer grasping your spirit so fair
I'd like to express our heart felt condolences from all of us here at War of the Ring.
Frodo's Love....may you ever be at peace, and may your star shine brightly in the heavens and bring joy to all who look upon it. Rest in peace...our friend.

"  Hey, it looks lovely in here!  Hmm, do you also have some cinnamon tea?!  If not, I'll take also a Mocha Latte...  " - Frodo's-Love
Frodo's-Love was one of the first to post in Mocha's Café (if you don't believe me, check it out yourself). I believe that she's one of the first members that I've befriended, and what a lucky person I've been to be a friend of hers. She's always been a funny hobbit. She would bounce around the Café, gulp down some preciousss cookies (her favorite order) and then bounce around some more. I think everyone would agree when I say that she never showed others if she was down, unless it's to the very little amount that she's very close to. Instead of being sad all the time and nag and whine (as to what we usually do online when bored), she would do exactly what a hobbit does and that is being happy, eating, and being silly!
On a personal note, I can't begin to tell you how much that little hobbit affected my life. She was always there when I needed a shoulder to cry on. She was always there when I needed help with anything. Whenever I remember her I can't stop the smile that creeps on my face. I'm beginning to realize that all that I've said about Froster so far isn't a remarkable thing. I should be able to write a lot more about her, but the thing is, words cannot express the loss I feel. There's no one to bounce around me, no one to gobble down my cookiesss as she did, no one to go nuts over Frodo, and there will never be another Froster ever again. It's really remarkable how one person's memory could make one cry only after mere minutes of smiling over the same memories.
The world has lost a lovely person, yet the skies have now gained a priceless prize. We will always remember you, my dear Froster, and here's one preciousss cookie that I will save on a plate just for you to pick up whenever you come down to give us a visit.

I knew FL from our community here and she was such a wonderful person. There are no words for the shock and loss. My heart goes out to her family. She loved Tolkien and I pray that she has found the Straight Road and seen that far green land under the sun rise. FL, you will be missed by us and always remembered.

My dear friend...Rest in peace in the undying Lands.... i wrote a poem for FL...I hope she can hear it....
Go, My Dear Friend
Go, my dear friend
To a place of peace.
Go to a place of love.
To a place that is forever young.
My Dear Friend remember me
When you are running down the plains of green
The sunlight hitting your face
Remember me when you are filled with joy
The joy of being free.
Go,My dear friend
To a place of hope
A place filled with new adventures
Filled with friends and loves.
Remember me when you are playing
Playing with the joy of being warm and free
Remember me when you are wearing dresses of white
When it is sunny and bright.
Go,My dear friend
Be in peace in the West.

Nivina, we will always miss you, and we will never forget you. You are a wonderful, talented person, who always did your best to make everybody smile. I say this from the bottom of my heart. Thank you so much for all you ever did for me, and for all you did for everyone around you. I know you touched the hearts of so many people...
I offer my deepest and sincerest condolences to everybody who knew Nivina, and to her family and friends. Things like this are so difficult and impossible to believe, that when they happen it seems like a nightmare...
We will miss you with all our hearts, and you will always be remembered.
*enormous hugs for Nivina and for everyone that knew her and will continue to remember her*

Her own words ~
Nivina's writings and sayings:
After some time of writing, Frodo had fallen asleep in his chair in the sun, close to the Sea, with his writings spread out around and before him. A humming bee sat down on one of the papers that swayed softly in the summer breeze, and it seemed like the little one was carefully deciphering the elegantly written down lines in Quenya just a few minutes before:
"When shall we all meet again?
Oft shall glowing hope expire,
Oft shall wearied love retire,
Oft shall death and sorrow reign.
When shall we all meet again?"
From Tho' in Distant Lands we sigh

"Frocrastinating on Froday"
•
Rivendell... Frodo already had spent quite a few days in this peaceful haven, but this was only the second day since he had woken from his injuries and his sickness. He still felt numb and tired, but now, here in the sunshine, looking out upon the Elven realm, he found himself smiling. Frodo could see the river far beneath him, but the dreadful things that had happened there not too long ago all seemed like a bad dream. The autumn sun sent her warm light through the valleys and gorges, and revealed an unreal and dreamy sight to his eyes. Far away, he heard birdsong -- birdsong to which he had awoken earlier. Birdsong had followed him into his sinister dreams somehow and soothed him, just as much as the medicines, the constantly renewed bandages, and the feeling of never being alone.

"Little Bouncy Hobbit"
•
"I've never had such a dream before," Frodo continued. "It was so real: I could feel the wind, and the air was getting thin. I was so high above, but I could breathe easily. The fire was blazing, and I saw the sparks flying into all directions. I got closer and closer to the fires, but never too close. They warmed me, made all shivers and all the cold disappear. They looked like... like beacons. And they were spreading over far distances, carrying beauty and new hope."
From Fire

"See you swoon"
•
The hobbit felt hot tears build again, and at that moment he told himself not to give in to his weakness, nor to the Ring that now whispered to him with sweet and angelic tongues. He tried to think of the Shire, the green fields, his smial, his books. The smell of ink, the comforting noise of his feather gliding over the paper while he wrote. Should he ever return, he had to write this down; Bilbo would like to read all about it. And somehow Frodo was sure that writing the tale would suit him much better than telling the story. Oh, he so longed to see and to hug Bilbo. The thought of his dear uncle made him take the next steps... the thought of saving his beloved Shire... more steps... the reunion of the Fellowship...
From Hope Amidst Darkness

"Fro sure!"
•
'My own way lies hidden before my eyes...' Frodo thought. But he was not afraid anymore.
Dawn came, and still Frodo felt no need to go inside, nor the need to sleep after a night of pondering and wondering about what his future might look like. With every breath Frodo felt lighter, and peace came to his heart ever so slowly.
