In Memory of Ann Waychoff
Dear friends and fellow Nightwish fans,
Yesterday, we lost a beloved member of the community. Ann Waychoff has passed away.
Ann was loved by so many despite never even having met in person. She was a pinnacle of kindness and a walking Nightwish database. She was such a devoted fan of the band that brought us all together.
Mr. James Waychoff, her husband, has imparted this message:
“I know you have all wondered where Ann has been, She had been laid up by more COPD issues and spine issues. Today with a heavy heart I must let you know that my wife passed away unexpectedly with a different medical problem. Please let all her online friends know that she loved them very much and they brought joy to her life.”
In honor of Ann and the spirit of our Nightwish family, I am raising funds for James to hopefully assist any funeral expenses and also to purchase a decent bouquet for Ann, whom we all shared a mutual admiration.
Let us honor our fellow "Nightwish Mother" by not only by raising funds, but following her example of being kind to one another and continuing to spread the "Ann Waychoff Speech" to all those we find seeking out our beloved band.
May she rest calm knowing that her love for us was returned twice over.
"Within there's every little memory resting calm in me,
Resting in a dream,
Smiling back at me."
The goal may change slightly depending on if we are made aware of any more costs the family incurs but we hope that even just a little bit can help make a difference.
Thank you.
