| Mighty Jo | From: Wisconsin | Joined: 15 February 2001 Last Play: 16 Dec 2005 | As most of you know my mom was disabled with COPD. And she passed away at the age of 51 because of it. She will be sadly missed by her friends and family. In the last 4 years this game site meant a lot to her since she was unable to leave her home due to her lung disease. This was very hard since she was such an active person, so this made her very depressed at times. And when she needed someone to talk to all she had to do was turn her web on and all of her friends were right there. You guys were there everyday for her!! She had a lot of great friends here. That's what makes this a great site!! Thanks, tyshy4me ( Tina ) |

| Ishkabibble | Age: 49 | Joined: 25 July 2002 Last Play: 3 October 2005 | The Big Band Era of the 1930s and 1940s was my grandparents time for fun and dancing. A popular band at the time was Kay Kyser's Kollege of Musical Knowledge: http://www.kaykyser.net/band.html which had Ish Kabibble, trumpet player and comedian, as one of their star attractions. When I was a little boy, I would always be asking my grandfather questions. He was a great kidder, so when I asked a "who" or "what" question, my grandfather would always say "Ishkabibble!" and start to laugh when I got mad. I play as Ishkabibble now as a tribute to my grandfather. |

He will be sadly missed and was a super person. ~~HeartOnFire |

| tigerlily | From: United Kingdom | Joined: 29 February 2004 | tigerlily was one of the first people i played backgammon with here at GT. I was very new to the site, and I couldn't work out why she kept putting "GL" and "TY" in the white box below the game board  She became a good friend on line, and we met up in real time too. Tigerlilly was very ill with progressive MS, but always made me laugh. During my own health nightmare she kept me sane and offered many wise words. Sadly last year the MS became so advanced she had to quit playing. At Christmas her health took a turn for the worst. Her strength and courage kept her going until the 25th of June 2009. She was an amazing woman and I am so glad I knew her. As for her name, her partner told her "you're as fierce as a tiger, and as beautiful as a lily". To Tigerlilly  for your friendship, may you be free from pain and suffering. |

It has been deemed necessary for GoldToken Management to view or receive legitimate confirmation that a player has sadly passed away. Confirmation can be in the form of an online obituary, or having one mailed to us directly. Due to some bad faith situations in the past, Management will not be able to post anything in a player's name without the confirmation. This means that we will not be able to put a player's name into a memorial tournament, nor place the player's memorial write up on this page until confirmation is received in some form.
If an obituary is not attainable by an online link, GoldToken will accept the memorial pamphlet or newspaper clipping to be mailed to our business address of:
P.O. Box 806
information and confirmation of any GoldToken Player who is no longer with us except in spirit and memory, so we can add them here.
