Hermione Stark

I don't know where to begin, Hermi. We had our ups and downs when you came to live with your dad and I. You were a beautiful soul and had a heart of gold. I will never forget the day you came bouncing in my room, sat down on my bed and watched the entire first season on GOT while eating cookies and cream chocolate bars....which you got me an entir...more

I am a very shy person, so internet friends have always been a big part of my life. Hermione was my very first internet friend, and I also would have never experienced being part of a female social group, if it wasn’t for her. Having a friend like Hermione, who believed in me and encouraged me when many others did not, has impacted me in ways that...more

i've been trying to think of something to write ever since i found out. "what the fuck" seemed to be the most i could muster for a day or two. i don't know how i'm supposed to summarise the nearly 20 years of friendship, inside jokes and love we shared. i don't know how i'm meant to turn on music or the TV and not have everything i listen to and wa...more

I never met Hermione in person, but we spent probably fifteen years communicating on an online forum. She was one of the biggest characters on the board, often debuting a new look (via a scanned Polaroid, until we eventually graduated to fuzzy digital cameras and mirror selfies!) or offering advice, or just making us laugh. When the board closed we...more

I am at a loss for words. I did not get to have my beautiful niece in my life for as long as I would have liked. However, I am better for having you for the short time I did. You were a unique spirit and I could relate to that. I am lucky to have known and loved you and, despite the hurt, I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. I love you....more

I met Hermione when we were both very young and searching for peers on the Internet. We found our people on a very special forum and we all essentially grew up together - far apart but together over many years. She was so effortlessly cool and interesting and led with her heart. I watched her fight for all the right reasons - for rights, for margin...more

Dayna. I did not have much of a relationship with her as a child but I will not forget that cute 6 year old at Disney World, she was adorable as a child. However, I got to know her more as an adult on Facebook and deeply respected her trueness to self. She was a one of a kind, caring person and the world has suffered a loss with her passing. I pray...more

Hermione. I'm so sorry it took us so long to find out you had passed. Life has a habit of turning you upside down and catching you in a whirlpool when you least expect it so you often forget to check in with those that matter. I am forever grateful that we met. You were instrumental in helping me understand that I was bisexual when I was very lon...more
