Seiya, Builder Extraordinaire, has passed away
Today the Universe Immigration Officer was updated by AWI to include the following message:
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Seiya ActiveWorlds user since 2005. Our condolences go out to her family.
Seiya was actually an AW user since 2001 and became close to several of our family in the SW’ian tribe and even more of our friends over the years, and it really comes as a shock to all of us that this has happened. We don’t have any more details, but will share them in the comments if they become available.
Until then, you can leave any messages at the following locations, and I think you’ll agree that not only have her building techniques become an indispensible part of our world, but that these sites show beyond a doubt that she’s become loved by many, and will be missed by us all.

Memorial Site in Active Worlds: AW 9801.06N 18783.71E 0.13a 90
On a personal note, I helped her out in those early years since 2001 to deal with some issues she struggled with as well as her rejection at the time by the AW community. We’ve grown distant since then, but I’m already missing her as if we remained close friends. Seiya, I know you’re at peace now, and that is what warms my heart in the midst of our loss. God bless.
You can view her collection of works at her Starbuilds teleport center at AW 2530s 4960w.
