Remembering BrilliantTurtle89
It is with a heavy heart that I share the passing of our very dear @BrilliantTurtle89.
Turtle was an invaluable member of the community who embraced everyone she met with love and compassion, regardless of their background, culture, age, or length of time on the site. She treated everyone fairly and made them feel like they belonged to the community when she was around. She was a vibrant, caring, and compassionate soul who made the community a better and more caring place with her guiding presence. She taught us all how to be resilient and encouraged us to focus on finding solutions to problems instead of worrying about the problems themselves.
She demonstrated this through her listening, mentorship, and leadership here at 7Cups. Her work in the Group Chats was phenomenal, and she had a special place in her heart for teens and put in extra effort to support them. Sadly, this community has lost a piece of itself with the passing of Turtle.
Not only did Turtle leave a lasting impression on everyone on this site, she regularly would express how much she loved being a part of this community. From the very beginning, the warmth, support, and camaraderie she experienced uplifted her. Being surrounded by thoughtful and kind-hearted people made a profound impact on her. Each interaction, whether it’s a thoughtful discussion, a shared laugh, or a simple word of encouragement, reinforces how special this community was to her.
As we mourn the loss of Turtle, we also celebrate her remarkable life and the legacy she leaves behind. Her compassion, generosity, and dedication will continue to inspire us all. While we grieve, let us also remember the joy and positivity Turtle brought into our lives and strive to honor her memory by following in her footsteps.
We remember Turtle in her roles: ATL, Care Team Guide, Chatroom Mentor (adults & teens), Chat Support, Community Mentor, Group Moderator, Group Support Ambassador, Group Support Mentor, Listener Coach, Quality Mentor Leader, Teen Transition Mentor, and the Verifiers Team.
Our deepest condolences go out to Turtle's family and friends during this difficult time. May we all find comfort in the beautiful memories we shared with Turtle and in knowing that her spirit will live on in the hearts of those she touched.

This is shocking to hear. From the first time I met Turtle, I appreciated her kindness and humor. She conveyed endless support and strength with everything she did. My deepest condolences to her loved ones. Rest easy Turtle. ❤️

Omg I am so shocked to hear this. Turtle was great, she was always so nice whenever we would run into each other in the lsr. I hope her passing was peaceful at the very least. Please rest in peace, Turtle<3
@Heather225 This was not what expected would be the first peice of news i would recieve this morning.
It just...wasnt.
I used to call her Master Oogway. It was a one time thing until it wasn't...I asked her if it was okay and she said sure.
(This is dry because i keep needing to pause.)
It seems...almost ironic, that the person i nicknamed Masteer Oogway went and passed away...I think she could appreciate the irony of that
She was one of those...awe-inspiring adults who understood...understood what its like to be a teen...to be scared and tired and alone when surrounded
She understood. And she connected. She was the fun oldie and i know she was a great mom...
I wish the best to her little turtles..
She was a role model. She was kind and caring and gentle and sometimes- alot of times- i wished i had a mom like her.
She inspired me
Us
And she has passed...to me, she is still alive in our kindness, in our love and our care
But the heart tends to grieve
I know this is long and just a mash up of thoughts but what can I write? What can I say?
Master Oogway...Turtle... she was so amazing, it could never fit in words.
She is gone but we love her still 🐢
I'm sending out my condolences
In loving memory -- Turtle was such a kind person. She would make sure to check in with everyone and I'm glad to have known her 💗
@Heather225
This is shocking.. I'm deeply saddened by this news. I only knew her from LSR. She was especially kind person.
🥺💔
Sending love and hugs to everyone needing some.😔
@brilliantTurtle89 RIP 🙏
My condolences to all of Turtle's family and friends 😞 💙 ❤️
I didn’t know Turtle but have seen lots of people on the teen side that are very upset. They tell me she was an amazing person. I am sorry she had to leave us all and that I will neve get to meet her. I wish strength to the friends and family that she has left behind.
