@ObsessedwithTivi
Oh my goodness, my heart is broken. Sandra, you were a fundamental piece of me feeling welcome on this silly little reading app. I was a cringy middle schooler who loved Pentatonix and reading anything I could get my hands on. I haven't been on Wattpad in a very long time, and this is not what I wanted to come back to. I was reading through our direct messages and remembering how I was trying to sound so cool so I would impress you. I will carry your kindness with me forever.
Hi, I saw the conversations below and even though I hardly know you, RIP Sandra❤️❤️❤️❤️
Tivi, I’m thinking about you again. As I do. I have wanted to continue my most popular home free fan fic but after you passed I couldn’t bring myself to do it. You’d probably tell me to pick it back up. For you, I might. But I have also been thinking of just discontinuing the book altogether. I’m conflicted and wish you were here to give some advice.
Wattpad just isn’t the same without you.
Missing you always, Alexis
I remember making this account five years ago in August and I remember reading PTX stories. I remember this being how i met you.
It's funny, thinking back to who i was back then, a sad 17y/o German hiding behind god knows what and then finding Patches, getting to talk to you and god i thought i was so smart, correcting your grammar and figuring out story ideas with you. I remember when Patches didn't have a split personality, when it was only one not very long book and it's amazing how things change. (I even remember you had a sequel story to something and you made Avi pregnant only to delete the story two chapters later and pretend it didn't happen.)
I remember back when there were only three HF stories, one of my own and two of yours.
In 2017 my biological father died and it was the first time i realized you can mourn a stranger. I don't remember if I ever told you about it, in fact, the last time we talked was two years ago in 2018 and I never even got to say goodbye.
I'll be honest, I didn't think this message through. I never even thought I would write it seeing as I, for personal reasons, withdrew myself and as the coward that I was I never told you why. I know now to regret that.
Last year during this time you were still kicking, doing what you've always done and quite honestly, I remember having pecked at one of your newer stories and thought to myself just how much you've grown as a writer and rn I wish I would've been able to tell you this.
It reads almost like a bad joke, to check in after so much time and find you gone, but the universe can be cruel like that. I would've loved to tell you how much it meant to me to meet you as a teen, how glad I was that you introduced me to HF and how much you helped me improve my English and my writing and in a way, probably even more about me than I'm willing to tell but I'm rambling to thin air, aren't I.
With that being said, I hope you're able to feel happiness and peace.

I come back after a while to catch up on your wonderful stories and I see this...
You never knew me but I greatly enjoyed your writing and will miss you.
I hope that you're doing good up there and I hope to see you again.
Rest easy, Sandra.

Sandra... it’s been a few months now since your sunshiney presence left our earth and became one with the sky. I am still deeply saddened that you are no longer with us. Hearing the news felt like falling to the concrete from a thousand metres above and jarring every bone in my body. You were too young, too spritely, too wonderfully magical to be taken from us so soon. I will never forget how you touched my life, and the lives of so many other young aspiring writers. You gave me motivation, you provided me with constructive criticism and praised my work. You gave validation and support without even being prompted, you just knew when we needed a friend and you proved to us that you were indeed a true, kind, loving friend. You were one of my very first internet companions, and although I wish more than anything that I could have met you in person, it was a blessing and an honour to simply know you through my screen. I think of you more often than not, and deeply regret the many months, even years, that I left this account abandoned and never took the time to message you to see how you were doing. But you reside in paradise now, where earthly torments will haunt you no more. I’ll love and miss you for the remainder of my days, dear Sandra. I hope you’re sitting pretty in the clouds and writing something amazing up there, I know for sure that I can hardly wait to read it when we meet again someday. All my love, Amy ❤️
This was beautifully written, Kiwi. There are so many days where I think about our dear friend Timbo. I truly miss her so much to where I cry almost every time I think of her. The day I found out about her passing broke me down hard and immediately wished it wasn’t true. But unfortunately it was true. She’s flying high with the angels now. Maybe she’ll be telling some of her stories to her angel friends and family now. We all know she’s a phenomenal author. ❤️
@bbypumpkin98 This was beautiful. I unfortunately didn't find Home Free or Sandra's stories until after her passing but she was a beautiful writer. You were lucky to have gotten to know her even if it was only through the screen. All the best with your writing Any. We have now both been inspired by Sandra. Just know she is watching over you always. Blessings, Meghan
Happy birthday in heaven my friend. I love and miss you so much Timbo ❤️❤️
what happened?
Sandra, it's still a shock to me. But, I feel like it's right to say something. I couldn't do it beforehand because it all hurt so much, and it was confusing, shocking, etc. I think of you constantly, I tell people about the love you spread. You started something amazing for this community by using your even more amazing talent. No words can thank you enough. You'll always be missed, Tivi.
@MyDearDeerLuhan Our dearest Tivi passed away. It was a shock, and unexpected. A few of us are still recovering and trying to handle it the best we can. I don’t know all of the details of how she passed..
i’m.. what happened? i’m so sorry. i just visited to re-read her stories and then i read these and- oh my goodness.
I'm so shocked may you rest in peace♥
