Ece Palmer, my wife, she was a BBO yellow once (or one of the people who worked to populate BBO when it first came, not sure if she ever been a yellow)
She was diagnosed with lung cancer. Today 3.30 am central time she passed away in the intensive care room.
She was mother of one (Crystal Palmer). She was British and Turkish citizen, a bridge lover, an excellent chef. Graduated from METU (middle eastern technical university) in Turkey on psychology.
RIP Ece! I already missed you! Posted Image

I remember playing bridge online in tourneys with or hosted by ecepal. She was adored by many on BBO, and was always friendly and helpful.

RIP, Ece!

My sincere condolences to you, Timo. May you and your family find the strength to handle this profound loss.

I wish I had some wise words that would help but there really aren't any. All I can say is I'm here if you need an ear.
