Exceptional individuals like Kumiko, with their fire and drive truly leave us all too soon. I am saddened by the news of her passing. I honestly wish that her family be spared further grief and sorrow. Yes, Kumiko may you rest in peace.

Thank you for sharing that Beanerz.

How tragic, she will definitely be missed.

Wow. I'm really sad to hear this. Kumiko was always very passionate (which sometimes got misinterpreted the wrong way) but those that knew her knew she had quite the wealth of knowledge and it showed in the results she received and the fact that her last log in date was March 6. I always enjoyed conversing with her and picking her brain about the game. I also didn't know her personally, but it really shocks me that she died so suddenly, from talks I had, she seemed like a healthy, active person in her 20s (maybe 30s).

I had a feeling that her absence must've been for a significant reason, but death was not at the top of the list of possibilities.

Really sad about this, and the Canadian community definitely lost a great person. I will definitely remember the stories of you shooting up through the leagues of BB long after I stop playing, or this game shuts down (whichever comes first).

I hope Craig and her family can come out of this as unscathed as possible :(

Thanks beanerz for sharing this as it, personally, really irked me as to why Kumiko just went MIA all of a sudden.

Dislike it. Honestly it would have no meaning for new users. It is really sad news and big tragedy but what does it have to do with Canadian Cup in online basketball manager game?

Have you ever sat on a park bench or seen a tree planted in someone's honour only you didn't have a clue who the person was? It's a small gesture but the point is the tribute, not to worry that some that come later might be unaware of the circumstance. There will be plenty of people still here who do understand the significance. And sorry but I'm actually confused that somebody could actually dislike honouring the tragic loss of a 21 year old girl.

I am so shocked and saddened, her poor husband and family.

Lisa, Kumiko was a great joy to speak to online during games. Her passion, sense of humour and kindness just made it so easy to like and respect her. She always made it more to look forward to each game during the season to be online and chat with the Canadian community. We both had some epic games against each other and with both of us "trash talking" we had more than a handful of people watch our games with us and join in the conversation. Since her departure the online chat hasn't been the same and I'm sure everyone that joins the chat regularly has noticed this.

Her contribution to the Canadian community was awesome and could only be matched with the greatest of Canadian Forum posters. All of her hard work with the U21 helped so many Canadian managers with there young talent and was a key contributor to helping new users get familiar, enjoy and remain playing Buzzerbeater.

I'll always remember her, miss her, and only hope she's in a better place. RIP Lisa
