That was the year when I got my first computer (and thus too young to know her at that time) but have read quite a lot about her in recent times. Thanks for the post Randy. On Sun, Oct 20, 2013 at 4:44 AM, Brett Watson <brett@the-watsons.org> wrote:

Deeply missed. I can't believe it's been that long. On Sat, Oct 19, 2013 at 3:36 PM, Randy Bush <randy@psg.com> wrote:

And the list isn't going to get shorter, I am afraid. Kinda depressing... Perhaps we should create a special remembrance day, once a year, where we remember all of them? And carry on with joy on all other days. -- Marco
I met her briefly at the Phoenix NANOG back when. (I want to say she was speaking with Guy Tal at the time and that's who introduced me but not sure.) I was shocked to hear that she passed not all that long afterwards. She was bright and full of energy and not someone you would expect to see an obituary on just two or three years later.

[resurrecting this thread, as it's been a while since I read nanog-ml, and this is surprisingly important to me...] On 19 October 2013 15:36, Randy Bush <randy@psg.com> wrote:

I met Abha whilst working in Amsterdam (on Squid, doing (consentual!) transparent reverse proxying for customer websites at a transit provider. Yes, I know, evil.) I was a bit star struck - I had been using GateD for three or four years at various ISPs before Europe, and then one day she casually strolls into the office. I remember one of our excursions into the city centre (likely to a RIPE meeting day) and she wondered why the heck anyone would want to teach a web proxy about AS numbers. She was always energetic and passionate about whatever we talked about. It was inspiring. I had just turned 21 shortly before this happened. I had just moved back to Australia and we had been keeping in touch. Then, this. It was very sobering. Sigh. -adrian (hi all!)
