Gabi's birthday was 17th September

OMFG! That makes the situation even more unreal! I still can believe she's gone...

[Yericoatl]

still wouldn't accep it either, boss, but life is life, i don't know what to say, just, keep her soul alive within us for freaking ever at least! i say a little pray for her always, everyday, for ever and ever now...sighs....

[Oblina]

i would like to say the day she told me she was travelling to Lhasa in Tibet i felt terrible sad and anxious... didn't know why =/.

[MarknMiami]

How in the hell did I miss this thread?!?!?....I've been busy lately but check in when I can and I just now see that Gaby died??..I feel like complete crap that I missed it!...I am completely stunned....I never met her in person but struck up a nice friendship with her on myspace and We used to send each other emails all the time joking around...I am just so seriously sad right now...It's not fair such a nice person like her was taken from us...My deepest sincere condolences to her family.

A couple days ago I was reorganizing my pictures folders and I opened the one with the Bang Your Head 2005 pics... that's where I met her. I felt both happy, for having met her, and sad, for having lost her. I am not over it yet and when I log in this board I cannot but think about her.

That s why we keep her admin status alive for a while! It's kind of weird but also like a memorial!

Indeed.
Some days ago i was talking to Oblina by messenger and i remembered a day when i was feeling so upset thinking about Gab. It was quite late, around 3 a.m. but i decided to go to the mountains, since i was in an uproar it was a very delightful thing to do, so i did.
I took my Ipod with me so i laid down in the ground, listening to Destruction and some more stuff thinking about Toko and i waited for the dawn... it was very very comforting.

Same here.

This is one of the reasons I keep coming back to this place: there is a common bond between everyone who ever posted here regularly and everyone is treated as a friend, as family. And that's saying a lot.

Thanx for explain. It really looks weird to see her nickname as moderator and to know that she is gone

[Araya]

...I just got told that our dear friend Gabriele Schramm aka Tokolosh died in Tibet on her travel back to Europe. I m speachless and shocked. I will try to get information from her family.

Update: just spoke to her best friend. It s true...horrible.OMFG!!!

Don't know what to say folks, I know some of you were also very close to her...

Rest in peace Gaby - we will all miss you very, very much here!

Oh Shit!!!! Back from Work and First Time im back here and than that sad News at first! IM SHOCKED!!!!
Rest in Peace, Gaby!!!!


Well, now i need a Beer!!!!

[kahve]

Sad to hear this. Condolences to her family and friends.

[FastAndLoud]

Wait, what?! I log on after a very long time and this is the news I get? Truly disheartening news, may she rest in peace....

[Thrash-Flegel]

Yeah, I haven't been here in forever, so even though I'm late as fuck, I'm quite shocked right now. I met her several times at shows and she was one hell of a nice and smart woman.

It's twice as depressing, as she seemed to take good care of herself instead of living up to the drugged up drunk metal cliché. Way too young.

[SCHMIER!!!]

Indeed Flegel. Well said. Still unreal ...

Hell-come back. Still in Berlin?

[Thrash-Flegel]

Yeah, I guess I'm stuck here for the time being. Found a band that's doing surprisingly well for the short time, with people who I actually get along with. Feeling pretty much at home.

Sounds great! Name of the band?

[Not Man II]

I have to admit I never really bonded with Tokolish as closely as I did with some other people on this board, but now I'm starting to wish I had gotten to know her better. R.I.P. Tokolish

[Nemesis]

I remember her. She was on the forum already back in the days when I was more active. R.I.P.

Awkward thread for self-promotion, but it's "The Razorquillz" (it's not metal, though, but more of a punk/hard rock thing - before anybody wastes precious time).

But as long as any new post makes someone think of Tokolosh, it may be forgivable.

[sinner]

I haven't been on the forum for a 3 years.

Just logged in to check what's happening here and the first thought came on my mind "Where is Toko? Is she still active on this board?". And then I found this thread.

I have a lump in my throat. I can't believe. I don't want to believe.

[Yericoatl]

yup, is a shocking reality, i almost daily think of her or speak with my family and coworkers of what she taught me and the things we share ... sadly, solely missed but never forgotten.

[death23]

Damn!!! I'm shocked. I haven't been around in a while and this took me by surprise. If I'm not mistaken she also came to Perú and met another old forum member. I don't think he knows about this so I'll let him know as soon as possible. She always seemed a well-hearted woman. Rest in Peace Metal sister!!!

[Striga]

One year already today...

And guess which song was played on the radio a few days ago? Aerosmith's "Dream on",which I had heard last year,same day I read about Toko's passing..."sing with me if it's just for today,maybe tomorrow the Good Lord will take you away..."

So may her soul rest in peace...
