Peace and best wishes to Apple. Like many others, I never knew about this. There was one time that I noticed her making a subtle reference that sounded like there might be some such issue, and I tried quietly to ask if she might say more but she chose not to. I didn't ask again but realized she might be fighting a heroic battle that she wished to keep private. Thanks to Apple for all her positivity and her great contributions to this site, and wishing that she is as much in peace as possible.

Very sad news indeed. I've "known" Mary since shortly after joining the forum. She has always been unfailingly polite, positive and helpful. She deserves a peaceful ending surrounded by people who love her. I'm sure there are many.

Needless to say really sad to hear this. My prayers are with her and her family.

Apple has been and forever will be, intertwined within the fabrics and threads of Piano World. I have always enjoyed reading her comments.

Apple was active when I first joined PW. I was sorry to hear about this.

Ohhh! So sad--words fail.
I hope it is some consolation to those close to her that her time spent here at PW reflects a life well-lived through music.

Life can be so freakin' unfair and sad at times. Apple* has been such a positive force on the forum. I hope she knows how much she has done for all of us and how grateful we are that she shared of herself with us. Indeed. I never met Mary in the flesh, though we talked on three forums. I'm sure she knows that she has touched a lot of people.

There is a place where the sidewalk ends And before the street begins, And there the grass grows soft and white, And there the sun burns crimson bright, And there the moon-bird rests from his flight To cool in the peppermint wind.
Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black And the dark street winds and bends. Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And watch where the chalk-white arrows go To the place where the sidewalk ends.
Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go, For the children, they mark, and the children, they know The place where the sidewalk ends.

Thank you, Apple. You have touched a lot of lives here and shared so much so generously - you'll always be with us. May love, peace and music be with you.

(I do not recall one unkind post from her) That's worth repeating... especially when you consider that, with 19,861 posts, apple* holds the distinction of being the PW member with the greatest number of posts!

Even after throwing out the high and low score, the only scores left are still all high! What a unique and wonderful person Apple is who went out of her way to bring happiness and friendship to everyone she touched.
Thank you Apple for just being you.

apple,
you and i go way back. i feel as if we have actually met and have spent a lot of time together.
you are leaving a beautiful legacy--your beautiful children, your community and family at home that love you, and the community you helped to build here online.
you are irreplaceable and you will be missed terribly by all.
wishing for you peace and love and music as you leave us, sweet poet.

I think this photo (which she indicates as her website) is worth remembering because it is so beautiful:

It is quite amazing how you can feel connected to people you've never met in person, value and esteem them, appreciate them, and grieve for them.
Apple, you made a wonderful contribution here, you will be missed indeed.
I pray that your heart and mind are at peace, and for the consolation of your loved ones.

So Sad. Apple's enthusiasm for her Estonia helped lead me to my wonderful piano. Thank you for all your contributions and wonderful attitude, Apple. We will miss you.
